For the toppings:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the butter and sugars together until the are well combined. Then add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Add in half of the dry ingredients, then the milk, and the remaining dry ingredients. Stir well.
  • Slowly mix in the boiling water until the batter is thin. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake for 5 minutes then run a knife around the edges of the pan. Invert the cake and cool for 20 minutes.
  • Turn the broil on high in your oven. Move the oven rack to 6-8 inches below the broiler.
  • Spread the mini marshmallows over top of the cake. Then sprinkle the broken graham cracker pieces on top.
  • Place in the oven, watching constantly, until the marshmallows become brown and toasted (but not too brown or they will catch on fire!)
  • Remove from oven and immediately press chocolate pieces into the marshmallow. Cook completely.
