Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Filling and Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until well combined. Remove from heat.

  2. 8

    Layer the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the graham cracker mixture on top, followed by half of the chocolate chips and half of the marshmallows.

  3. 9

    Repeat Layering

    Add the second layer of cake on top, then repeat the layering with the remaining graham cracker mixture, chocolate chips, and marshmallows.

  4. 10

    Final Touch

    Use the remaining marshmallows and chocolate chips to decorate the top of the cake. Optionally, you can broil the cake for a minute to toast the marshmallows.
