Instructions

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

Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press into bottoms of pans to form crusts. Bake 8 minutes, then cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Gradually add dry mixture, then stir in boiling water until smooth.
Pour batter over graham crusts. Bake 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
Spread marshmallow fluff between the cooled cake layers. Cover the cake with marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows on top.
Toast topping with a kitchen torch or under the broiler until golden.
Heat cream and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth to make ganache. Drizzle over toasted marshmallow topping.
Garnish with extra graham cracker crumbs or chocolate pieces, if desired.

Notes

For a shortcut, use a chocolate cake mix.
Add peanut butter between the layers for a s’mores twist.
Cupcakes can be made with graham crusts, chocolate batter, and marshmallow topping in muffin tins.
Prepare marshmallow topping just before serving for best texture.
Grease knife lightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
