S'mores Cake

Happy Birthday Jeff!!

If you haven't guessed yet I created this yummy little confection to celebrate my sweet hubby's birthday.

This is made with 4 sweet Graham mini-pancakes, some pre-made Chocolate frosting, and topped with mini Marshmallows… and the flavor is very much like traditional S'mores.

Ingredients:

  1/4 cup Fat Free Sour Cream

  1/4 cup Egg Beaters

  3 full-size Graham Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup of crumbs)

  2 Tbl Sugar

  1/4 tsp Salt

  1/2 tsp Baking Soda

  1 tsp Vanilla Extract

  Spray Oil (I used Hazelnut)

  6 Tbl Betty Crocker Whipped Milk Chocolate Frosting

  1/2 cup Mini Marshmallows

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Spray a griddle and 4 egg rings with the spray oil, set on a large burner on Medium-Low heat.  Once the griddle has warmed distribute the batter evenly among the rings.

Remove the egg rings when the pancakes have pulled away from the edges, the tops will still be quite wet.

Flip the pancakes - since these are higher in sugar than traditional pancakes you need to flip them a bit early to prevent burning.  It will be a little messy (see below) but you can trim the edges once they're finished cooking & cooling.

Once the second side has cooked transfer to a cooling rack, allow to cool completely before continuing.

From my picture you can see that the extra sugar causes these little pancakes to singe, don't worry about it, they'll taste great & you won't notice later.

Frost & layer the cake using about 1 Tbl frosting on top of each layer, another 2 Tbl frosting on the sides.

If you want a candle put it in first, then put the Mini Marshmallows on top, pushing them slightly to get them to stick well.

Refrigerate for a couple hours… you'll see why in a bit...

Light candle & sing "Happy Birthday"...

Because it had chilled a couple hours I could let hubby play with his new toy, a kitchen torch… note that we removed the candle first, this is important unless you enjoy eating wax...

 
I'd have toasted it more "golden", but this was hubby's birthday & hubby's new toy… so he did things his way :)

It was a very yummy little treat that we enjoyed sharing… and we'll definitely be making it again someday!!
