Description

Broiling the icing gives this cake a different twist! Cake is heavy and messy, too!

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks Butter, Softened
  • ½ cups Cocoa
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1-½ cup Flour, White
  • 1-½ cup Pecans, Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 box Powdered Sugar (For Icing)
  • ⅓ cups Cocoa (For Icing)
  • ½ sticks Butter, Softened (For Icing)
  • ½ cups Milk (For Icing)
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla (For Icing)
  • 4 cups Marshmallows, Minature (may Be Less) (For Icing)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan. Prepare the icing before making the cake. When it’s time to ice, you might need to microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to pour over the cake.

FOR THE ICING:

Mix all icing ingredients (except marshmallows) until smooth. Set aside.

FOR THE CAKE:

Mix flour and cocoa in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs and beat until creamy.
Add flour mixture, beating well until smooth.
Hand mix in nuts and vanilla.
Pour into pan and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Remove and immediately sprinkle the top with the marshsmallows. Pour icing on marshmallows, covering top.

Turn oven to broil and broil 1 minute. Be very careful here NOT to burn the icing. You just want the marshmallows to melt and mix in with the icing, creating a mess (that looks like Mississippi River mud).
