Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not hold its shape and will be more likely to crumble.
- Pop the popcorn in a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to expand and prevent it from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the popcorn. Overcooked popcorn will be tough and chewy.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before assembling the cake. Warm popcorn will melt the butter and marshmallow mixture.
- Use a large bowl to mix the popcorn and marshmallow mixture. This will make it easier to stir and coat the popcorn evenly.
- Press the popcorn mixture firmly into the prepared pan. This will help the cake hold its shape.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting and serving. This will give the marshmallow mixture time to set.
