Ingredients

Scale

Graham Crust

1½ cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 full sheets)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp brown sugar (optional for extra caramel flavor)

Chocolate Cake Layer

1 box chocolate cake mix (or use your favorite homemade recipe)
Ingredients listed on box (usually eggs, oil, and water)

Marshmallow Topping

1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
OR
3 cups mini marshmallows

Optional Ganache

¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line two 8-inch round cake pans.
Make the graham crust.
In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, butter, and brown sugar. Press into the bottom of each cake pan. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool slightly.
Prepare and bake the cake.
Mix chocolate cake batter according to package instructions. Pour evenly over the graham crust in each pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Add the marshmallow topping.
Spread marshmallow fluff on top of the cooled cake layers. OR arrange mini marshmallows in a single layer.
Toast it!
Use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the topping. No torch? Place under a broiler for 30 seconds, watching closely!
Optional ganache drizzle.
Warm the cream, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the frosted cake for extra richness.
Assemble & Serve.
Stack the layers or serve as single-layer cakes. Add extra crushed graham, chocolate shavings, or berries if you’d like!

Notes

You can use store-bought cake mix or a homemade chocolate cake batter.
Torch the marshmallow topping for authentic flavor.
