  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs

For the Marshmallow Topping:

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows (or 1 jar marshmallow fluff)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch cake pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cake

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  3. Slowly pour in boiling water while stirring. The batter will be thin this is normal.
  4. Pour the batter over the cooled graham cracker crust.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Marshmallow Topping

  1. If using marshmallow fluff, skip to step 3.
  2. In a saucepan, heat marshmallows and heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  3. Let it cool slightly, then spread evenly over the cooled cake.
  4. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Notes

Use Fresh Marshmallows – They melt better and create a smoother topping.

Don’t Overbake the Cake – A moist cake is key to a great texture.

Let It Cool Before Adding Marshmallow – This prevents the topping from melting too much.

For an Extra Toasted Finish – Use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallow topping.
