S’mores by way of an unapologetically rich and decadent poke cake — two of my favorite things married into one glorious and easy dessert! You start by making a chocolate cake (I used a boxed mix but you can double this scratch recipe if you’re so inclined) and after it comes out of the oven, poke holes with the blunt end of a wooden spoon over the surface. The holes absorb a mixture of slightly melted marshmallow creme and sweetened condensed milk, which helps the cake stay incredibly moist. Crush graham crackers over the top before adding marshmallows. Yes, there’s both marshmallow creme and marshmallows because in my book you can’t have s’mores without an abundance of marshmallows. Before serving, drizzle with hot fudge and don’t forget to put on your stretchy pants. It’s a sticky, messy cake to slice neatly, but s’mores are sticky and messy after all.

How to Make S’mores Poke Cake
I don’t think I could make this marshmallow s’mores cake any easier!
Storage Instructions
The poke cake will keep airtight for up to 5 days. The graham crackers will soften and the marshmallows will become gooier over time. I store this cake in the refrigerator because I really like chilled chocolate cakes, but you can store it at room temperature if preferred.
