This turned out very dry even though I only baked it for 25 minutes. Shouldn't it have some liquid in it besides the eggs? Don't know what I did wrong but wouldn't make it again. Read More

Yes indeed...this is a very rich cake. I love chocolate and marshmallow cream and they pair up perfectly in this dessert. My son loves sweets as much as I do but he can only eat a small portion of this...as it is very rich!! If you find your icing difficult to spread...zap it in the microwave for a few seconds and it'll spread like butter. Thanks Amy. Read More

Quite good. I had a recipe similar but it disappeared; this is much better! I didn't use as much marshmallow fluff as the recipe called for and it was HARD to spread the chocolate frosting over the marshmallow but never mind it was great! Read More

I can't believe this recipe isn't more popular! My mom has had this recipe forever and it's wonderful! I added 1/2 tsp salt to the batter and used a 1/2 c cocoa in it (i like more chocolate flavor). The marshmallow creme in the small jar is 7 oz so you'll have to buy 2 for the whole recipe. I baked this at 325 for exactly 35 minutes and it came out perfect. This is one of my hubby's favorite and it never dissappoints! Chocolately marshmallowy and sweet. Read More

My dad loves this cake. I made it for him for christmas and he ate the whole thing in a couple of days! I made it the first time exactly like the recipe and I found that spreading the marshmallow creme was very hard and the cake kept tearing. I did it again and used mini marshmallows. If you put them on right when you take it out of the oven and then cover the pan with something the marshmallows will melt and it will be really easy to spread the icing. Hope you like it! Read More
