Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 15 oz chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate melted, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Bake chocolate cake according to package directions in two 9-inch round pans and let cool completely.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar to form a crumble and set aside.
  3. Place egg whites, granulated sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisking constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 160°F.
  4. Remove from heat, beat with a hand mixer on high for 5 to 7 minutes until stiff glossy peaks form, then beat in vanilla.
  5. Place one cake layer on a plate, spread a thick layer of marshmallow frosting, and press graham cracker crumble into the frosting.
  6. Add the second cake layer; frost the entire outside with remaining marshmallow frosting.
  7. Use a kitchen torch to toast the outside of the frosting, then drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
