INGREDIENTS

  • General

    • Baking spray
    • 🍫 1 (15.25 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 🥛 1 cup whole milk
    • 🧈 ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
    • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
    • 🌱 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
    • 🍫 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 🥛 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
    • 🥚 5 large egg whites
    • 🧂 1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
    • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs, divided
    • 10 small graham cracker rectangles

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and lightly spray with baking spray.

2

Combine cake mix, eggs, milk, butter, espresso powder, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until well combined. Divide batter evenly between pans.

3

Bake cakes for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes on a rack, then remove and cool completely.

4

To prepare chocolate frosting, heat cream to a gentle simmer and pour over chocolate chips. Mix until smooth and let cool for about 1.5 hours until spreadable.

5

Prepare marshmallow frosting by combining egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Heat over simmering water until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 160°F (70°C). Beat until stiff peaks form.

6

Trim the tops of the cooled cakes using a serrated knife. Spread marshmallow frosting and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs between the layers and refrigerate.

7

Finish by frosting the cake with chocolate frosting. Pipe marshmallow rosettes and decorate with graham crackers.

8

Use a kitchen torch to brown marshmallow rosettes before serving.
