**Step 1: Gather Your Warriors (Ingredients)**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups sugar
– 3/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup almond milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup hot water
**For the Chocolate Buttercream**
– 1/2 cup vegan butter
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons almond milk
**For the Gooey Marshmallow Fluff & Toppings**
– 1 cup vegan marshmallow fluff
– 1/2 cup caramelized biscuit spread
– 1 cup crushed biscuits
– 1/2 cup toasted marshmallows
– Biscoff spread for drizzling
**Step 2: Forge the Cake Layers**
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line four cake pans – because we’re building greatness here.
2. In a mighty bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Deadlift those ingredients nicely!
3. Add in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir like you mean it until it’s smooth and ready to conquer the cake world.
4. Pour in hot water. The batter will be liquid—fear not, that’s the secret weapon for ultimate moistness.
5. Divide the batter evenly and pour into the four pans.
6. Let them bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The scent alone will make you unstoppable.
**Step 3: Assemble the Masterpiece**
1. Once the layers are cooled, spread a generous amount of vegan marshmallow fluff on the first layer.
2. Top with another layer, spread the creamy chocolate buttercream.
3. Add the next layer, lavishly apply caramelized biscuit spread.
4. Stack the final layer and frost the entire cake with whatever buttercream you have left. Be bold, this is your creation!
**Step 4: The Grand Finale of Decor**
1. Sprinkle crushed biscuits around the cake like a crown.
2. Use Biscoff spread for a courageous drip effect. Watch it slide, then own the moment.
3. Artfully place toasted marshmallows on top. They are the cherries on our metaphorical cake.
There you have it. A cake that defies the gods of tradition, standing tall and unyielding. So now, when you gaze upon your creation, you’ll know it’s the sweet taste of victory in every bite. Serve it, devour it, and relish in your triumph. That’s how it’s done!
Prepare for nothing short of a sensational experience.
