1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Allow cakes to cool completely before assembling. Layer one cake with mini marshmallows and top with the second layer. Optionally torch the marshmallows for extra flavor.
