In reply to Annabel. Double for 10 inch pans! And yes you can use regular cocoa.

Hi! Just wondering if I could use regular cocoa instead of dark? And what modifications need to be made if I choose to make 2-10 in or 12 in cakes?

In reply to Su. I'm wondering the same thing, we're you able to do this Su? Or Corurtney, do you have an answer?

In reply to Allison. Just cut the recipe in half for two 6-inch pans. Baking time will decrease a bit, start around 20 mins.

I am wanting to make this cake with two 6 inch rounds, but I’ve never scaled a cake recipe before. Any tips?

This sounds delicious! Does this buttercream crust, and can I colour it with gel food colours? Also will I be able to pipe decoration and/or palette knife paint? Thanks

In reply to Tiffany Hurlbut. No. I've done it before and it thawed just fine.

I would like to make this in advance. Any concerns with freezing the decorated cake with the marshmallow buttercream? I would add marshmallows on the day it’s served.

In reply to Courtney Rich. Hi Courtney, I was just wondering how many people this cake would feed?

My neighbor made me cupcakes using this recipe and they were to DIE for!!!!! I’d like to use the marshmallow frosting on some mini cakes — about how many cups does one batch make? Thank you so much!!

In reply to Courtney Rich. Thanks for responding! I'm actually noticing that the black chocolate cake recipe isn't too different from this one; do you think it would work to just sub black cocoa for the cocoa powder in this recipe?

This cake is SO DELICIOUS! Moist chocolate cake, and the marshmallow buttercream is so yummy! Topped with ganache it’s very decadent. My new favorite cake!

Do you think the marshmallow buttercream from this recipe would be good on your black chocolate cake?

In reply to Tammy Brennan. I wouldn't recommend letting it sit out for more than a day. It will dry out quickly.

Hi Courtney
I was wondering how long this frosting would last, outside of a fridge? Can the cake sit on the counter for a few days?
Cheers
Tammy

I made without the ganache, and it was still so delicious. My family loved it and proclaimed it the best cake I ever made! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
