Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
- For the buttercream frosting, beat the unsalted butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add a bit of milk if necessary for the desired consistency.
- Frost the cooled cake with buttercream and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- To prepare the fondant, microwave the marshmallows with 15g of water for about 30 seconds until melted. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar until it forms a dough-like consistency.
- Roll out the fondant on a powdered sugar-dusted surface.
- Cover the chilled cake with the fondant, smoothing it over the cake.
