Check out how easy it is to make a S’mores Cake with this simple recipe.

What do I need to make a S’mores Cake?
To get started with this S’mores cake you will need to have a few things on hand.
- 1 Betty Crocker moist yellow cake mix and ingredients(made into two 8″ round cakes)
- marshmallows
- Betty Crocker Hershey’s Chocolate Frosting
- graham crackers (crushed)
- 6 regular sized Hershey’s Chocolate Bars (broken into halves)
How to Make a S’mores Cake
Making this S’mores cake is relatively easy. There are only a few steps before this amazing layered cake takes shape.
First, you will want to gather all of your ingredients.
Take the yellow cake mix and ingredients needed, and bake two 8″ round cakes. Allow to cool and place on cooling racks.
Add a layer of Hershey’s chocolate frosting on top of the bottom round.
Sprinkle a layer of graham crackers over the frosting.
Take the second cake and add chocolate frosting and sprinkle the top with graham crackers, but leave in the 8″ baking pan.
Place the marshmallows on top of the cake and then place in the oven with the broiler on to melt the marshmallows.
Keep a close eye on this so you don’t burn the marshmallows! Just let them get a nice light brown.
Allow the cake and marshmallows to cool again. Then carefully remove the cake from the pan onto a cooling rack.
Place the cake with the marshmallows on top of the cake with the frosting and graham cracker layer.
S’mores Cake Recipe
Take the Hershey’s chocolate frosting and cover the rounded sides.
Then take the Hershey’s Chocolate Bars and place them all around the cake on the sides. If you break the bars into halves they will fit perfectly around the cake.
How to Serve a S’mores Cake
When you are ready to serve the cake, slice and then warm the piece in the microwave for about 8 seconds. This should soften everything up, and it honestly tastes SO yummy warmed up.
You are going to run out of this cake FAST because it is just completely delicious.
How to Store a S’mores Cake
It will be a miracle if you have anything leftover to store, but if you do, store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. If keeping for longer than 24 hours, consider storing any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Oh my goodness, this is amazing! I have seen S’mores everything recently, but not a cake like this! Just genius! 🙂
Loving this cake. Only not sure how I would take the second cake out of the cake pan. I understand you would have to cool down cake and topping. Please give more detail.
Are you talking about the cake with the marshmallow topping? You do allow it to cool, then place a paper plat over the top, flip it out, and then turn it back onto the cooling rack or onto the 1st layer if you are ready for it. Hope that helps! 🙂
This looks incredibly delicious! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
This cake is gorgeous and pure genius! My S’mores-loving son would LOVE this cake. Thanks for sharing. 😉
Thanks so much for sharing at The Living With Style Linky Party!
Please join us again this week. Doors open Wednesday 5:30 AM Eastern Time

Can you let the marshmallow topping cool for a minute or 2 and then just flip it out onto a ceramic plate? How long does it keep and if so, how would you prepare it to keep it?
I think that would probably work. 🙂 Either way it’s crazy delicious!
This looks amazing! My son picked it for his birthday cake. I used an 8 inch springform pan for the marshmallow layer. It made it much easier!
That’s awesome!!! 🙂
Do you have to cut the bottom layer to make it flat?
I didn’t have to with my cake, but if you want it REALLY flat, you could always cut it.
