Step-by-Step Instructions for The Best S’mores Poke Cake Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed. Press into the bottom of the baking dish to form a solid crust. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden and let cool completely.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix in a separate bowl according to package instructions. Pour the batter over the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a wooden spoon or skewer to poke holes all over the cake surface, about an inch apart, to allow filling to seep in.
- Whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with the recommended amount of milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Pour it evenly over the cake, filling all the holes. Let it set for 5-10 minutes.
- Spread a layer of marshmallow fluff over the pudding layer, then dollop whipped cream on top, smoothing it out to maintain airiness.
- Scatter mini marshmallows and graham cracker chunks over the whipped cream layer. Broil for 30 seconds until lightly toasted, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the cake set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, then slice and enjoy chilled or slightly warm.
