Maybe I switched u the recipe a little bit but the recipe I came up with is OMG so good! I added everything he said except the whipped cream and the cake mix. I added a marshmallow for the whipped cream and added flower and sugar for the cake mix. I added 1 3rd of a cup of flour and added 2 tablespoons of sugar. I also added Nutella in the middle. I did finish it with a garnish of coconut. The marshmallow puffed up super big! It was awesome! It was delish!
