♥ What inspired me to make this s’more chocolate cake!

I can’t fully take credit for this cake. One of my readers asked me to create a gluten-free birthday cake for her four year old daughter. However, the cake had to have two things – chocolate and marshmallows, and this is how this chocolate cake came about.

I love baking with chocolate because the chocolate aroma lingers throughout the house, which brings me back to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, my favourite cookies.

♥ Fail-proof gluten-free dessert!

So, moving on to the s’more chocolate cake. I wanted to make this recipe easy enough for anyone to make and keeping it fail-proof. But more importantly, the birthday cake had to be delicious and gluten-free.

To start, you make the base. Very easy, only five ingredients that are combined together and pressed into the bottom of the pan. I used a square pan, but you can also use a round pan if you are looking to make a round cake. For the next layer, which is the chocolate cake, you first melt some butter and mix it with cocoa powder and sugar.

Transfer the cocoa mixture into a bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Oh, did I mention, I also added chocolate chips to the cake. The chips are added to the batter at the end.

Pour the batter over the base and bake. The hardest part is over YEY! The cake takes only thirty minutes to bake. Once the cake is finished baking, top it with marshmallows and place it under the broiler for a minute or so, until the marshmallows start to melt and turn a golden colour. DONE!

As I said earlier, the cake is fail-proof. The kids love it, and everyone is happy! After all, chocolate and marshmallows are a perfect combo. Next time you are thinking of making a chocolate birthday cake, give this recipe a try.

Although this recipe was made to be a birthday cake, you will find that this gluten-free dessert will become a favourite for those that love chocolate…everyone 🙂
