 Categories: Dairy, Cakes, Chocolate, Fruits
      Yield: 12 Servings

  2 1/4 c  Miniature marshmallows
      3 c  A-P flour
      3 c  Sugar
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda
  1 1/2 c  Butter; in cubes
  1 1/2 c  Cherry-flavored cola
      4 tb Baking cocoa
      3 lg Eggs; room temperature
    3/4 c  Buttermilk
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
      2 c  Confectioners' sugar
     14 oz Marshmallow creme (2 jars)
      4 tb Frozen cherry-pomegranate
           - juice concentrate; thawed
           Fresh sweet cherries;
           - with stems

  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Line bottoms of three greased 9" round baking pans with parchment;
  grease paper. Divide marshmallows among pans.

  In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar and baking soda. In a small
  saucepan, combine butter, cola, and cocoa; bring just to a boil,
  stirring occasionally. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until
  moistened.

  In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until blended;
  add to flour mixture, whisking constantly. Pour into prepared pans,
  dividing batter evenly. Marshmallows will float to the top.

  Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes
  out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks;
  remove paper. Cool completely.

  For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar
  until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme and juice concentrate on
  low speed just until combined; increase to high and beat until
  smooth.

  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread top with 1 cup
  frosting. Repeat with second layer. Top with remaining cake layer;
  spread with remaining frosting. Decorate with cherries.
