Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and set aside.
Beat eggs, sugars, vanilla and oil together.
Pour half of wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour half the buttermilk, gently whisk and repeat with the rest of the batter and buttermilk. Batter will be thin.
Prepare 6 inch pans, bake three layers.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Frosting
Beat butter for 2 minutes and add in the rest of the ingredients.
Decorating
Melt some chocolate in intervals.
Let cool for five minutes then put into a zip lock bag.
Cut off the edge and create squiggly type trees on parchment.
Freeze for 5-10 minutes.
For the spider web, take half a bag of marshmallows and melt or stir in intervals until creamy.
Allow to cool for 5-7 minutes.
Use your fingers and stretch the marshmallow all around the frosted cake. It should be messy!
Add in the trees on top and enjoy.
