Ingredients
- CAKE
- 1 cup butter (or margarine, 2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 whole eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour all-purpose is more brownie like texture, cake flour gives it a more cake like texture)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- ICING
- 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
- 2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

How to Make
-
Step 1: To make cake Melt butter or margarine and cocoa powder over low heat, stirring so it doesn't burn.
-
Step 2: Beat eggs.
-
Step 3: Stir eggs into cocoa mixture (or use a mixer).
-
Step 4: Stir in vanilla.
-
Step 5: Add in sugar, blending well.
-
Step 6: Sift all dry ingredients together. Add into cocoa mixture, blending well.
-
Step 7: Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
-
Step 8: Bake at 350 F until done in center, about 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Step 9: When cake is done, spread marshmallow creme over cake while cake is still hot.
-
Step 10: To make icing Melt together the butter and cocoa in a saucepan on low.
-
Step 11: Stir in the confectioner's sugar, stirring well to make sure all lumps are gone. (A whisk works best)
-
Step 12: Stir in vanilla.
-
Step 13: Stir in milk if needed, this is a thinnish icing, so milk may be needed if too thick. I add the milk a few drops at a time.
-
Step 14: Pour hot icing over the marshmallow creme, do all this while cake is still hot. Icing and marshmallow creme will mix, maybe be swirled with a knife for even coverage.
-
Step 15: Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of cake while warm, then let cool before serving.
