Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Butter
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Step 5

Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in their pans before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 6

While the cakes are baking, prepare the graham cracker crust layer. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch round baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Step 7

To make the marshmallow frosting, beat powdered sugar and softened butter together in a stand mixer. Add heavy cream and continue beating until light and fluffy. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the cakes and graham crust are cool, assemble the cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top.

Step 9

Place the graham cracker crust on top of the first cake layer, then spread with another thin layer of frosting. Add the second cake layer on top.

Step 10

Frost the outside and top of the cake with the remaining marshmallow frosting.

Step 11

Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top of the frosted cake. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows, if desired, for that classic s'mores effect.

Step 12

Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes to set before serving.
