Description

This cake takes me back a lot of years! I got this recipe from a friend’s mother over 30 years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. It has a wonderful combination of chocolate, pecans, coconut, and marshmallow fluff!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • 1-½ cup Chopped Pecans
  • ¾ cups Coconut Flakes
  • 1 jar Marshmallow Fluff (13 Ounce Jar - Use As Much As You Like)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ cups Butter
  • ½ cups Condensed Milk
  • 1 box Sifted Powdered Sugar, 1 Pound Box
  • ½ cups Cocoa Powder

Preparation

Cream 1 cup butter and sugar together, add eggs (one at a time) and cream well. Then, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix. Add 2 tablespoons cocoa and the flour and mix. Stir in pecans and coconut. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F or until toothpick comes out clean. Then remove cake from the oven.

While cake is warm, spread one large jar of marshmallow creme over cake. Let cake cool.

Mix remaining vanilla and butter and condensed milk together. Add powdered sugar and cocoa. Spread over cooled cake.

I made this yesterday and oh my. I can’t stop eating it! What a delicious recipe. I did add some milk to the frosting as well because it was pretty thick, but that’s the only change I made. Yum, yum!

yumm!! i was confused with the icing, though. i had to add more liquid of something because it was still powdery, but added some milk and it worked out great. LOVED the base cake level. that was awesome. thanks for the yummy recipe! will try again!!
