MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
 1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
     2 c  Confectioners' sugar
    14 oz (2 jars) marshmallow creme
     4 tb Frozen cherry-pomegranate
          - juice concentrate; thawed

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 Line bottoms of 3 greased 9" round baking pans with
 parchment; grease paper. Divide marshmallows among pans.

 In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar and baking soda. In
 a small saucepan, combine butter, cola and cocoa; bring
 just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour
 mixture, stirring just until moistened.

 In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and vanilla
 until blended; add to flour mixture, whisking
 constantly. Pour into prepared pans, dividing batter
 evenly. (Marshmallows will float to the top.)

 Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in
 center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before
 removing to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.

 For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and
 confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in marshmallow
 creme and juice concentrate on low speed just until
 combined; increase to high and beat until smooth.

 Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread top with 1
 cup frosting. Repeat with second layer. Top with
 remaining cake layer; spread with remaining frosting.
 Decorate with cherries.
