Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Nonstick cooking spray
14 graham cracker cookies (each 2 1/2 by 5 inches)
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 18-by-13-inch baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the graham crackers on the baking sheet so they are touching each other. Top with the chocolate and marshmallows. Bake, turning the baking sheet once about halfway through the cooking time, until the marshmallows are puffed and golden all over, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool for 5 minutes, then gently push down on the marshmallows to help the chocolate adhere to the graham crackers. Let cool completely, then break the s'mores into pieces. The s'mores can be stored in an airtight container with parchment paper between the layers for up to 5 days.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the skillet
One 16.25-ounce box white cake mix
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
12 to 14 full-size candy canes
Buttercream Peppermint Frosting, recipe follows
1 pint peppermint ice cream
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package's egg white method. Add the peppermint extract and mix to combine. Pour the cake batter into the prepared skillet. Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool until the top of the cake is cool to the touch.
  • Pulse the candy canes in a food processor until you get pea-sized candy, 5 to 6 times. Add 1/2 cup of the crushed candy canes to the Frosting and fold to combine. Frost the cake with the Peppermint Frosting, then sprinkle the remaining crushed candy over the entire cake. Serve slices with scoops of peppermint ice cream.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the confectioners' sugar together with the butter until well combined. Add the heavy cream and continue to beat until extremely light and fluffy. Beat in the peppermint extract until combined.

PINEAPPLE BLUEBERRY DUMP CAKE



Pineapple Blueberry Dump Cake image

For the easiest homemade dessert, a dump cake is your best bet. Simply dump all the ingredients into a baking dish then bake. Boxed cake mix forms the batter so you don't even need to dirty a bowl. The canned pineapple and blueberry pie filling give the cake sweetness and moisture while fresh blueberries add bright pops of flavor. The pecans and almonds on top toast as the cake bakes, bringing some crunch and nuttiness to the dessert.

S'MORES CAKE



S'mores Cake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 whole graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt
Vegetable oil, for the spatula
1 16-ounce container marshmallow cream
Basic Chocolate Cake, baked and cooled, recipe follows
Cooking spray
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch process)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream, chocolate and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the ganache is smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Remove the bowl from the pan and set aside until the ganache is cool and thick but still pourable, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and salt in a bowl until combined. Spread out on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool. Assemble the cake as close to serving time as possible: Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice each cake layer in half horizontally. Place 1 cake half on a platter. Using a lightly oiled offset spatula or spoon, spread one-third of the marshmallow cream on top, stopping about 1 inch from the edge (if the marshmallow cream is difficult to spread, microwave 10 to 15 seconds to soften). Sprinkle one-third of the graham cracker mixture over the marshmallow cream. Repeat to make 4 layers, ending with cake; reserve a few tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture for topping. Pour the ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker mixture. Serve immediately.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.)
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for rich, dark chocolate and fresh, minty peppermint extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake. The center should be slightly gooey.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly decadent dessert.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Peppermint Smores Dump Cake is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes.
