Ingredients
For the Cake
- ½ cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup coffee brewed, hot
- ½ cup milk whole
For the Topping
- 4 cups mini marshmallows 10 ounce bag
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup milk whole
- ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13x9 baking dish with baking spray (or use homemade cake release). Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a measuring cup, mix together hot coffee and milk. Set aside.
- In mixer, beat butter and sugar for 5 minutes, until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Slowly add in dry ingredients alternating with the coffee/milk mixture (about 3 additions of each).
- Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 28-30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before adding frosting.
- For the Frosting, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add milk and cocoa powder, and whisk together.
- Over medium high heat, continue to cook until mixture begins to bubble (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl (or if your saucepan is big enough), add the powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Drizzle the warm frosting over the marshmallow layer of the cooled cake.
- Chill cake in refrigeratore for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. ENJOY.
Notes
- How to prevent cake from sticking. Spray the baking pan with baking spray OR use my Homemade Cake Release.
- Keep covered. Add a layer of plastic wrap over the cake pan while Mississippi Mud Cake chills. This keeps everything moist and prevents the frosting from getting dry and crackly.
- Marshmallows. If you prefer your marshmallows lumpy, you can skip the melting of marshmallows and just pour the chocolate frosting over the top. You'll have a "bumpy" appearance that tastes delicious.
- Optional toppings. Add more mini marshmallows or chipped pecans to Mississippi Mud Cake before serving for an extra touch.
- Storing. I recommend storing this cake in the refrigerator. If you prefer to serve it room temperature, remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.
