Instructions
For Graham Cracker Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time until fully combined and pale yellow.
- Add in graham cracker crumbs and wet ingredients, mix until combined.
- Add baking soda and cake flour and mix until just combined, do not overmix!
- Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or pan spray, fill with batter.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with no crumbs sticking.
- Allow to fully cool then dice into 1" pieces. Set aside.
Milk and Honey Cake Syrup
- Combine milk, honey and a pinch of salt with a whisk until all the honey is dissolved into the milk. Set aside.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a small saucepan, bring heavy whipping cream to a simmer.
- In a heat safe bowl, pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes then whisk to combine.
- Put chocolate ganache into a squeeze bottle, set aside.
Assembling the Trifle
- Put marshmallow fluff in a piping bag or Ziplock bag and cut a hole in one of the corners. If you have piping bags, attach a star tip to the piping bag.
- In a trifle dish or other bowl, pipe a layer of marshmallow fluff and drizzle with ganache.
- Next, add in a layer of diced cake pieces then carefully drizzle with a few tablespoons the milk and honey syrup, just enough to get some on each piece of cake.
- Sprinkle with some graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips.
- Repeat the above steps until all ingredients are used up. Mine made 4-5 layers.
- Garnish the top with more marshmallow fluff, graham cracker crumbs, and mini chocolate chips.
- Serve and enjoy!
