Instructions

For Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. grease two cake pans, I sprinkle either a couple of tablespoons of flour or cocoa so the cake comes out easier.
  • Sift cocoa, flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a small bowl. Add salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine egg, vanilla, and sugar. Mix on medium-low for 1 minute, then increase the speed to medium and whip for 5 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium-high for another 5 minutes.
  • Add mayonnaise and mix in on medium for 1 minute.
  • Fold in flour mixture and water in two alternating additions.
  • Add in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pans smooth.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cake springs back when pressed lightly and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to help get them out of the pans.

Marshmallow Icing

  • Boil sugar and water while stirring frequently until syrup reaches 235 degrees or syrup forms a soft ball in ice water. Remove from heat.
  • Break the marshmallows into pieces and to the hot syrup. DO NOT STIR. Let sit for 1 -2 minutes.
  • Pour slowly over the stiffly beaten egg whites, beating rapidly.
  • Continue beating icing until it reaches the desired consistency to spread. If it gets too thick to spread beat in a few drops of water. If it's too runny let it sit for a few minutes and it will thicken up as it cools.
  • When assembling the cake, put some marshmallow icing on the first layer of the cake. Then crush about 4 graham crackers on top of the icing. Place the second layer of cake with more marshmallow icing and then crush the remaining graham crackers.
