Cool Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup graham crackers crushed
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 12 ounce whipped vanilla frosting
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • While the oven preheats, prepare the cake batter by whisking together the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Fold in the ¾ cup of crushed graham crackers and ¾ cup of mini marshmallows.
  • Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes (until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean).
  • Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes while you whisk together the frosting and marshmallow fluff with an electric hand mixer.
  • Once the cake has had time to cool, use a spatula to frost the cake. Top your cake with the remaining graham crackers and marshmallows.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can cause the cake to become tough and dense. Mix until all the ingredients are just combined.
  • Crush the graham crackers into small pieces: Crush the graham crackers into small pieces using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. This will help them distribute more evenly throughout the cake batter. I like to have a mixture of tiny pieces and some larger pieces to bite into.
  • Let the cake cool before frosting: Make sure the cake is completely cooled before frosting it, as warm cake can cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
Storage: 
  • You can make this s'mores cake recipe in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best results or freeze it for up to 2-3 months.
  • If you plan to frost the cake, it's best to do it just before serving to ensure the frosting is fresh and the cake looks its best.
  • You can store leftover cake in an airtight container or covered with foil or plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
