Mississippi Mud Cake

Tried this one out with the kids last night. Turned out perfect

Ingredients:

1 cup of melted butter (or 1 stick of butter and 1 stick of margarine)

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

4 large eggs (lightly beaten)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted

1 (10.5-ounce) bag miniature marshmallows

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.

Add the cocoa and stir.

Remove from the heat.

Pour butter mixture into a mixing bowl and add sugar and eggs.

Mix until blended.

Add the vanilla.

Mix in the flour and salt.

Stir in the pecans.

Put batter into prepared pan and cook for 35 minutes or until done.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with marshmallows.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

For the frosting: Combine all of the ingredients and mix until smooth. Spread frosting on cooled cake.

If your frosting is too thick, add more milk.
