S’mores Cake
Taking the concept of S’mores to a whole other level with this S’mores Cake. Roasted marshmallows on top of a chocolate cake… sandwiched with another cake and topped off with even more marshmallows!
Will you believe me if I say a S’mores Cake is so much better than S’mores?
Don’t worry. I’m not saying that as there really is no comparison. Both of them are delicious and it is difficult to choose one over the other.
But if you have some marshmallows left and are wondering what to do with them, I urge you to try this S’mores Cake. I took the concept of S’mores and transmitted it to a Chocolate Cake. Total Crowd Pleaser – tsaall I’m saying! 😉
Oh, by the way, I forgot to put a parchment paper on my baking tray (which was greasy). When I put in the cake to roast marshmallows under the broiler for 5 minutes, the bottom of the cake got stuck to the baking pan! 🙁 Anyhoo.. lesson learned! And I got most of the cake out so no biggie! 😀
S’mores Cake
You can prepare your favorite cake batter. I used the batter of this cake and just added some cocoa powder to get a chocolate cake. (scroll down to printable recipe for exact recipe)
Pour into greased and lined baking pan
Bake until it is completely done.
Remove it from the baking pan. Let it cool completely before slicing into 2 (If you attempt to slice when it is warm, chances are it may fall apart). Or if you choose to bake 2 separate cakes, then let it cool a bit.
It’s just a matter of building up the cake now. Place the bottom layer of the cake, fill with marshmallows (and chocolate if you want). Close with another layer of cake and top off with Marshmallows.
Put it under the broiler / grill / bake for 3-4 minutes or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and start to melt a bit.
Let the cake cool completely. Slice & serve.
