Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
1/4 heaping cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows (about 6 cups)
1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) salted butter
6 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 heaping cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then the boiling water. Let it bubble up for a few seconds, then turn it off and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and stir a few times to start to cool the chocolate.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Pour over the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Sprinkle the marshmallows over the cake, then return the dish to the oven to broil until the marshmallows start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
  • For the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the milk and cocoa powder. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar in 4 to 5 additions. Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
  • Pour the icing all over the marshmallows, allowing some marshmallows to remain visible. Let the icing set, then deliver or serve.

This one is near and dear to my heart. This is my mother's recipe - it has to be well over 50 years old. The cake is incredibly moist and the icing turns into a fudgy layer on top. Really, really good!

This is an easy one-bowl cake that is nothing short of amazing! --- make certain to prepare the frosting glaze while the cake is baking as it must be added on while the cake is still warm, no baking powder or soda in this cake, it's a rich dense chocolate cake that more like a brownie texture.
