Mississippi Mud Cake

This is our new favorite recipe. People like it so much that when I took it in to Young Womens all of the scouts from another ward were lining up waiting for some. We were hoping for some leftovers but we left with an empty pan.

2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
4 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. nuts
1 c. miniature marshmallows

Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs and beat. Sift flour, cocoa and salt. Add to sugar mixture. Add vanilla and nuts. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Take out and cover with marshmallows. Put back in oven for 5 minutes. Take out and frost.

Frosting

3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 sticks butter
1/2 c. cocoa
1 c. nuts 1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. evaporated milk

Melt butter. Sift sugar and cocoa. Mix with melted butter. Add cream or milk, vanilla and nuts. Spread on cake.
