Equipment

Ingredients

Batter

2 cup Sugar
4 T Cocoa
1 cup Nuts chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup Flour self-rising
4 Eggs
2 sticks Margarine oleo or butter melted

Marshmallow

16 oz bag Miniature Marshmallows

Frosting

1 box Confectioners Sugar 3.5 to 3.75 cups sifted
1 stick Oleo oleo, margarine, or butter, softened, not melted
4 T Cocoa
Pet Milk enough to spread frosting easily, add only 1 T at a time

Instructions

Batter

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9" x 13" baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Spray the bottom and sides with cooking spray. Or grease the pan with butter
Melt the oleo (margarine or butter)
Add the sugar to the melted oleo (or butter)
Add the cocoa powder and eggs one at a time. Mix well after each egg.
Add the chopped nuts and the flour. Add 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring if desired.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and bake at about 350° for 20-30 minutes. Choose a lower temp if necessary and a shorter cooking time. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. When done it should come out clean.
Sprinkle marshmallows on top while the cake is still cool. Return to the oven for a few minutes for the marshmallows to melt and the top to be lightly browned. Set aside and cool completely.

Frosting

Cream the sugar, softened (not melted) oleo or butter, and cocoa together. Add Pet milk (half and half or cream) by single tablespoon only until you reach a spreadable consistency. Drop in dollops over the completely cooled marshmallows and spread with a knife. It may or may not cover the cake completely.
Allow the cake to sit in the refrigerator for the frosting to set. Cut into small squares with a sharp knife. Store in refrigerator.
