Ingredients

Scale
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (10-ounce bag) mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 5 tablespoons whole milk
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans evenly on top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan.
  7. For the icing, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 5 tablespoons of whole milk until smooth and well combined.
  8. Remove from heat and whisk in the confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, pourable icing.
  9. Once the cake has cooled and the marshmallows are softened, pour the icing over the top, spreading it evenly.
  10. Allow the cake to set for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

To ensure even baking, use room temperature ingredients for the best texture. You can refrigerate the cake for longer freshness.
