Cake Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, combine buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in hot coffee until the batter is smooth. Divide evenly among the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Filling Preparation

  • Meanwhile, mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter; set aside.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; gently fold in marshmallow fluff and softened butter until smooth.

Assembly

  • To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread some marshmallow frosting, and sprinkle a layer of graham cracker crunch. Repeat with remaining layers.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with the marshmallow mixture and press graham cracker crumbs around the sides.
  • Toast additional marshmallows on top using a kitchen torch or broiler, then decorate with chocolate drizzle.

Notes

This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
