For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality fruit preserve with a vibrant color. Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can substitute it with an equal amount of homemade meringue. The cake layers can be brushed with a simple syrup infused with vanilla or lemon for added moisture and flavor. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of pudding mix to customize the cake to your liking.
