My grand kids and I were looking through my cabinets for some ideas on what to bake together when the oldest 1 asked, " Why don't we make a S'mores cake?" We had a lot of the ingredients, all we needed was the chocolate syrup which their mommy had, so off we went and the cake came out so good it didn't last the night, lol.
