Raspberry Smores Cake

Very typical American snack called smores cake, except with my little twist that turned one yummy sweet into a gorgeous looking dessert: smores cake or s’mores tart. It’s just a simple result of my various experiments.I’m happy to share the recipe and hope that many would give it a try and leave me comments on how they liked it. It’s pretty simple and quick in making,plus it tastes unbelievably good.

Good luck and happy baking!

Ingredients

1 ⅔  cups of crushed graham crackers

50 grams melted butter ,plus a bit extra to grease the pan

½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

150 grams semisweet chocolate

200 grams milk chocolate (or use 350 grams of either kind)

2-3 cups of mini marshmallows (or use jumbo kind as many as you need to cover the chocolate layer)




¼ cup coconut flakes (sweetened or unsweetened  )

Raspberries and chocolate shavings to decorate the cake (optional)

You will also need an 8” round spring form baking pan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° F/200° C degrees

Start melting the chocolate on a double boiler until it’s smooth, without lumps,set aside

In a food processor combine graham crackers, butter and cinnamon, pulse a few seconds

Generously butter the pan, pour in the graham crackers mixture

Using a measuring cup or hands, tap and smooth out the mixture

Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack

Pass a greased knife around the sides to ease out the cake from the pan

Tip:Use a greased knife to slice the cake, to avoid the marshmallow sticking to it
