Best 5 Perfect Mississippi Mud Cake Recipes

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

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.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease and flour a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.
• Combine the sugar, salt and flour in a large mixing bowl. Bring one stick butter, oil, 1/2 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add to the flour mixture.
• Beat together the eggs, baking soda, buttermilk and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add to the chocolate mixture, mix well, and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the icing by melting 1 stick softened butter in the 3 tablespoons cocoa and milk over low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in the confectioner's sugar. Slowly mix in the nuts and the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Take the cake from the oven, and when it cools a bit cover it with miniature marshmallows. Pour the warm icing over the cake and the marshmallows. Cool the cake before serving.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch cake pan.
• In a large sauce pan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the butter with the cocoa. Stir often. Remove from heat and add white sugar, beat well. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the egg mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and spread the marshmallow cream over the cake. Spoon chocolate icing over marshmallow topping while the cake is still hot and spread. The cake will get "muddied" by the spreading action.
• To Make Icing: Beat together the remaining 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the milk, and the confectioner's sugar. Once well combined spoon over the still hot cake.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 13x9 inch baking pan.
• Cream together 1/3 cup of the cocoa, white sugar, and 1 cup of the butter or margarine until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and beat well.
• Mix flour, baking powder, coconut, and chopped pecans together. Stir flour mixture into the egg mixture and stir until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes. Smooth marshmallow cream over top of cake while still hot. Let cake cool completely then ice with chocolate icing.
• To Make Chocolate Icing: Beat together the confectioner's sugar, the remaining 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Continue to beat and add enough evaporated milk to make icing spread on cake.

THE BEST MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE EVER

Steps:

• 1. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• 2. Mix together flour, sugar, soda, salt and cocoa. Then, add buttermilk, oil, boiling water, vanilla and eggs. Beat thoroughly and pour into the greased and floured pan. (If the batter seems a little thin, you are right on track! :-) Bake 35-45 minutes, testing with a toothpick to determine doneness.
• 3. Start the icing 5 minutes before the cake is done. Combine sugar, corn syrup, milk and butter in a saucepan and boil 2 minutes (no longer) then add the chocolate chips, vanilla, and nuts. Mix until the chocolate chips are melted.
• 4. Sprinkle the miniature marshmallows all over the top of the baked cake as soon as it is removed from the oven, then drizzle the hot icing mixture over the marshmallows.
