This cake is AMAZING!!! It's addicting! I do have a tip though. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to let the cake cool off before cutting it or just dig right in, I guess you can do either. So after I got the cake out I poured the icing over it and we didn't use marshmallows since we are vegetarian. Then we tried it and the cake fell apart but it was still good. And now after it's cooled off today I tried it and it tastes so much better and the cake stayed together. I would let the cake cook off before you eat it.

This cake was unbelievable. So delicious. I made for a family party and was gone within minutes. My own family asked me to make another one the next day so that they could have it all to themselves!
