Ingredients

• For the Cake:
• - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• - 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• - 1 teaspoon salt
• - 1 cup milk
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 3 large eggs
• - Cooking spray for greasing
• For the Marshmallow Filling:
• - 2 cups marshmallow creme
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Chocolate Glaze:
• - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• - 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue mixing for an additional 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow creme, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
7. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the marshmallow filling evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in short intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
9. Pour the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Use a spatula to spread the glaze evenly, if needed.
10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the glaze and filling to set.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
