S'moreo Campfire Cake!

Chocolate Cake Between Graham Cracker Crusts With Toasted Marshmallows & Oreos!

Welcome to Camp Cake! We are so happy you could join us this summer. Camp Cake is an indoor camp where you can learn fun things like, baking, and caking, and most importantly how to slice and eat cake! I really wish there was a camp like this….and now there is! Today at Camp Cake we are making a S’moreo Campfire cake. Yum! All the delicious elements of a S’more - graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate, plus the added bonus of an Oreo cookie. Time to build a fire….. or pull out a brûlée torch!

*Cake Tip: I found when I spread my 7 Minute frosting that it started to ooze TOO much down the sides because I used too much. So I quickly put my cake in the fridge in order to firm up my frosting, and then I also decided to spread that oozing frosting all around the bottom half of my cake. A perfect example of how important it is to go with the flow when cake decorating! You can’t control what your toppings want to do sometimes :)*

Preperation

Prepare Chocolate Cake

Prepare your 6lb portion of Yo’s Ultimate Chocolate Cake batter. Set aside.

Prepare Ganache

Prepare your chocolate ganache. Set aside.

Prepare Frosting

Prepare your 7 Minute Frosting. Set aside.

Prepare Simple Syrup

Prepare your Simple Syrup. Set aside.

Prepare Graham Cracker Mixture

Toss your sugar and graham crumbs together in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix together.

Divide Between Cake Pans

Divide your graham crust evenly between the two 8” round cheesecake pans.

Chill Graham Crust

Press the graham crust down firmly into the pans using a 4” round cake pan or flat glass. Chill for 20 minutes.

Fill with Chocolate Batter

Fill two 8” round cheesecake pans with 1 ¾ lbs of chocolate batter directly on top of the graham cracker crusts. Fill one 8” round cake pan with 2 1/2 lbs of chocolate batter.

Bake Cakes

Bake at 350 degrees for, 1hr or until a cake tester comes out completely clean. Let cool completely in their pans.

Level Cakes

Remove your cakes from their pans and level them. Sprinkle with simple syrup.

Spread Ganache and Oreos

Place one of your graham crusted cakes, graham side down, onto your serving platter. Spread ganache onto that layer, then top with Oreos. Spread 7 Minute Frosting onto your Oreo layer.

Layer Cake

Place your 8” round Chocolate Cake on top. Use a spatula to scrape any excess frosting. Repeat the process of your previous cake layer. Place your final graham crusted chocolate cake on top, making sure the graham cracker crust is on top!

Prepare S’moreos

Prepare you S’moreos. Sandwich a toasted marshmallow and an Oreo between two graham crackers.

Spread on Ganache

Spread a layer of chocolate ganache onto the top of your cake, and lay your S’moreos on top.

Create Cinnamon Wood

Using your river rock chocolate, form an inner circle within the S’moreo border. Use your cinnamon sticks to create “wood” for the campfire cake top.

Cut Gumpaste Flames

Cut flames from thinly rolled gumpaste (letting dry overnight). Paint Wilton Colour Mist in Red and Yellow on both sides to enhance colour. Once dry, place on top of the cinnamon sticks.

Add Camp Banner

As an extra touch, place a pre-made banner above the campfire.

Congratulations!
