Description

A rich, fudgy chocolate and pecan sheet cake topped with miniature marshmallows straight from the oven, then covered in a warm cocoa fudge frosting that sets into a cloud of chocolate and marshmallow heaven. Every bite is dense, chewy, and deeply chocolatey. One of those Southern classics that makes a whole pan disappear.

Note

The marshmallows go on the hot cake immediately after baking so they melt slightly into the surface — creating a soft, sticky base for the frosting.
