Finally, I have the perfect recipe to recreate that campfire experience without even leaving the house.
How to Make S’mores Poke Cake
Thinking about s’more brings me right back to my childhood. More often than not our family’s summer vacations meant camping with my aunts, uncles, and cousins and we always had the ingredients to make s’mores. Always.

Steps for S’mores Poke Cake Recipe
- Prepare and bake the cake as directed on the box.
- Once the cake is cooled, poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a serving spoon or large skewer.
- Spoon the marshmallow cream into a medium-sized microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 seconds at a time, stirring well after each heating cycle, until the cream is runny. This will make it spread and run down into each hole.

Does this cake need to be refrigerated? Sounds delish!
I didn’t refrigerate it, but then again it didn’t last very long 😉
Those raccoons had some nerve!! I think this cake makes up for that experience, though – it sounds amazing!
Thank you Emily!
