Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 8-inch round baking pans with nonstick baking spray - make sure it's the kind that has the flour in the spray!
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, powder and salt.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the buttermilk, oil and eggs on medium speed until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer still on medium speed, beat in the dry ingredients until they are just combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl if needed. Beat in the coffee until combined.
- Divide and pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert onto parchment paper to let them cool completely.
- I actually like to do this part ahead of time. Once cool, I wrap the cake layers in plastic wrap and stick them in the freezer, if only for 30 minutes. This helps the frosting go on nicely!
- When you're ready to frost, add a dollop of frosting on top of two cakes and layer the cakes together. Add the remaining frosting and cover the cake.
- Pipe the whipped marshmallow on top of the cake. Sprinkle with cocoa powder. Slice and serve when you're ready!
- We love to keep this cake in the fridge (Eddie loves cold cake!) and I would recommend that since it has the cream cheese frosting. Bring it out 30 to 60 minutes before serving so it can come to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and add cocoa powder, increasing the speed to mix. Add in melted chocolate. If the frosting it a bit too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. If it is too thin, add additional sugar gradually.
- To make the frosting, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heat-proof bowl, preferably the bowl of your electric stand mixer. Place over top of a double-boiler that contains simmering water, and whisk constantly for 3-4 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are slightly warm. Immediately remove the bowl and place it on your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beating slow at first and gradually increasing the speed to high.
- Beat for 6-7 minutes until glossy and thick, then beat in vanilla extract for another minute until combined.
- Fill a piping bag with the marshmallow and pipe puffs on top of the chocolate cake. Sprinkle with cocoa powder!
- Note: the marshmallow can be done ahead of time and holds up nicely in the fridge. If you have more than 24 hours though, I would wait as long as you can to add the marshmallow!
CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW CAKE
When Mom wanted to treat us to something special, she made this awesome dessert. We could never resist the tender chocolate cake, the fluffy marshmallow layer or the fudge topping. It's very difficult to stop at one piece.

WILBUR COCOA MARSHMALLOW CAKE
The Wilbur Chocolate factory in Lititz, Pennsylvania is a wonderful little place that makes amazing chocolate. If you ever had an opportunity to sample Wilbur Buds then you know what I mean. From the "Cook's Tours through Wilburland" recipe book of the early 1900s. They say on www.wilburbuds.com that this cake is quickly made and is very attractive and inexpensive. Excellent served with Recipe #217740 instead of the marshmallow whip (made single layer in an 11"x7" glass baking dish baked for 25 minutes).
