MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
 1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
     2 c  Confectioners' sugar
    14 oz Marshmallow creme (2 jars)
     4 tb Frozen cherry-pomegranate
          - juice concentrate; thawed
          Fresh sweet cherries;
          - with stems

 Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

 Line bottoms of three 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 to 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.
