Categories     dessert

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.
