Equipment

Ingredients  

For the chocolate cake:

  • Cooking spray
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup whole milk

For assembly:

  • 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 (7-oz.) container marshmallow creme/fluff

Instructions 

Make the chocolate cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. 
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined. 
  • Alternately add the milk and flour mixture in three increments until combined.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it into an even layer. 
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Let the cake cool completely. 

Assemble the s'mores cocktail cakes:

  • Once you've stamped out the cakes, divide the crushed graham crackers among the cups.
  • Transfer the marshmallow creme to a sealable plastic bag. (Piping tip is optional!)
  • Pipe a layer of marshmallow creme atop the crushed graham crackers.
  • Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallow creme, then serve.

Notes

  • Container options: Coupe cocktail glasses give these the most elegant look, but small mason jars, ramekins or any small cup work too. The number of cakes you'll get depends on the size of your container.
  • Serve immediately after torching for the ultimate gooey, toasty s'mores experience.
  • This is a scaled-down version of my Best Chocolate Cake developed specifically for dot-style cakes. It bakes up thin and moist in a standard 13x9-inch pan.
