Dairy-Free S'mores Cake
This cake is fluffy and moist (sorry I hate that word too), with a light chocolate frosting and lots of graham crackers, chocolate chips, and marshmallows throughout. It's like that first bite of a soft, gooey s'more, but 100x better. This is for one 9 inch round that I cut in half and stacked to make a half cake. Double for full two layer cake!
