Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. For the cake: grease and flour a 12-cup mold; put aside. In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Using a hand mixer, mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Pour the dough into the prepared pan and spread evenly. It is a very thick paste. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then invert on a rack and cool completely. Once the cake has cooled, cut in half horizontally.

Then, for the marshmallow cream filling: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the butter until smooth. Add the marshmallow cream, salt and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add a cup of powdered sugar and mix until well blended. Add the rest of a cup of powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy. Spread the filling on the bottom half of the cake and place the top half of the cake on the cream filling.

For the chocolate ganache: Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl; put aside. Whipping cream in the microwave in a small microwave-safe dish until it begins to bubble. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix until smooth and creamy. If the chocolate chips are not completely melted. Place in the microwave and heat, stirring every 10 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is melted. Let cool 10 minutes or until slightly thickened and pour over the cake. Store the cake in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
