Instructions

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 8" cake pans with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl add eggs and sugar and beat on high for 3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla, oil, yogurt, and espresso powder and mix to combine.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine. Don't over mix. Add the coffee and mix.
  • Divide the batter between the two cake pans. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to fully cool

Toasted Marshmallow Frosting

  • Create a double boiler by bringing a pot of water to a boil.
  • Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tarter into a glass bowl and fit over the top of the pot, making sure the water never touches the bottom.
  • Continually whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy, 5 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the toasted marshmallow flavoring. Mix on high for approximately 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and holds its shape.

Dark Chocolate Ganache

  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Work in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between heating, until chocolate is fully melted. Be careful not to over heat.
  • Stir in the cream until smooth.

S'mores Cake

  • Place half of the graham cracker crumbs on the first layer of cake.
  • Drizzle half of the chocolate ganache over the crumbs. Top with some of the marshmallow frosting.
  • Add the second layer of cake. Top with the remaining graham cracker crumbs and chocolate ganache.
  • Cover the cake in the toasted marshmallow frosting.
  • If desired, you can use a kitchen torch to toast the outside of the frosting.
  • Enjoy!
