The original recipe calls for a meringue type marshmallow-y frosting. Though I'm sure it's a delicious frosting, Dave and I are not huge meringue fans. Instead, I just made a simple butter cream frosting. Dorie decorated her cake by crumbling up one of the cake layers and using the crumbs. I thought it would be so pretty to have a four layer cake, so I just used some toasted coconut as decoration.
This was a nice, big fudgy cake that makes many servings. It would be great for a birthday party or other celebration.
