directions

Step 1

Use a serrated knife to cut the domed top off one of the 9-in. round cakes. Place cake on a platter. Leave the second cake as is.

Step 2

To make icing, beat whipping cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 min. Beat in butter and icing sugar until very stiff, 1 to 2 min. Fold in marshmallow creme until just combined (icing should not be runny.)

Step 3

Spread marshmallow icing over cake layer on platter to the edges. Top with second cake layer.

Step 4

Place cake in freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 5

To make glaze, microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream for 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate is melted. Let the chocolate cool slightly.

Step 6

Pour glaze over top of cake. Use a metal spatula to spread the glaze over top and sides of cake. If chocolate pools at the bottom of the cake, use your spatula to scrape off excess chocolate.

Step 7

Refrigerate cake for 1 hour or overnight.
