I don\u2019t know why there are so many negative reviews. If you read the ingredients you will see that it will be a chocolate tasting cake. The soda is an enhancement and the marshmallows left a crunchy delight at the edges. I recommend Baker\u2019s Joy to grease the pans and alternate the pans during baking. I had no issues with the frosting being runny. Couldn\u2019t find the frozen juice so I used 100% pure pomegranate and 100% pure tart cherry juice. This cake is moist and keeps well. I had a fun time making it. I made the cakes a day in advance and wrapped tightly making the cake even more moist. I will make again. Wish I could download my photo it came out nice. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-02-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"hadiya8897"},"reviewBody":"My family really enjoyed this cake, but like the other reviews it wasn't that flavorful.

I made 32 cupcakes using slightly smaller than standard-size cupcake papers. This was the first time I ever baked a cake with marshmallows in the batter so I was a bit perplexed that I could not do a 'doneness test' by seeing if the center of the cupcake sprung back - but 18 minutes in the oven did the trick.Loved the frosting too! After going to three different grocery stores, I still could not find the juice concentrate the recipe call for. So I added 1\/2 tsp. of cherry extract and a bit of pink food coloring instead. Delicious - plus gave me another idea. Maybe I could use this frosting recipe with peppermint extract and a dab of green food coloring on my favorite dark chocolate cupcakes.Can't wait to share my cupcakes at an event this evening.

I agree with someone else mixing the marshmallows into the batter might be a better idea but I kinda liked the crispy crunch on the edge. I don't like sweet cherries so I got a jar of maraschino cherries with stems and for my friends cake I am going to dip them in magic shell and decorate the top like that. This cake is a winner!
