S’mores Chocolate Cake

Hey, dessert lovers, listen up because we’ve got a game-changer for you – our sensational s’mores chocolate cake! Now, we don’t toss around words like “life-changing” lightly, but this cake is the real deal.

Here’s the scoop: Unlike many from-scratch baking adventures, this cake comes with a shortcut that will revolutionize your dessert game. Trust us — you’re going to want to make this decadent dessert immediately!

Why this s’mores chocolate cake is the best!

If you have been making our recipes for a while, then you know how much we love a solid shortcut! We use devil’s food cake mix and instant chocolate pudding as the base for this rich chocolate cake. Using these ready-to-bake mixes takes the guesswork out of baking. Instead of having to measure a ton of ingredients, it is all taken care of for you! 

We take these two baking mixes and put our delicious spin on it. We add in greek yogurt (or sour cream) to make it extra creamy. And the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate chunks transform a simple devils food cake mix into an unforgettable treat!

How to make s’mores chocolate cake

1. In a large bowl, pour out the devil’s food cake mix and add in the eggs, vegetable oil, greek yogurt (or sour cream), warm water, and instant chocolate pudding mix.
2. Scoop half of the devil’s food cake batter into an oven-safe baking dish. 
3. Arrange the graham crackers in a layer on top of the batter. 
4. Pull the marshmallows apart into halves and place them on top of the graham crackers. 
5. Sprinkle on half of the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
6. Scoop the second half of the devil’s food cake batter on top. Spread it evenly over the s’mores ingredient using a rubber spatula. 
7. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or chocolate chunks on top.
8. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. The best way to check for doneness is by poking a toothpick or skewer into the cake. If it pulls out clean, the cake is cooked. If some of the cake crumbles stick to it, then the cake needs a little bit more time!
9. Serve warm!
