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!

SO good and satisfied a craving! Using vanilla bean paste really made a difference.

This is an excellent recipe. You can use any boxed cake mix flavor and add or leave out chocolate chips as appropriate and use whatever icing you like. Yum!

I would not make this again.  My family and I did not care for it.  May be a personal preference.
