1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The marshmallows are not suppose to melt just get soft. After adding marshmallows to top and returning to oven watch carefully, may not need a total of 10 minutes. Don't let the marshmallows brown or the top will be crusty and hard to slice cleanly.
This cake was a total disaster. Marshmallows didn't melt, but formed a crust on top of cake, that made it tough to cut and chew. No one could eat more than one bite.

I had never baked a cake like this before. My family and friends can't get enough! Everyone requests it for all the holidays and gatherings. Thanks!!!!
Perfectly wonderful with rave reviews! I used self-rising flour which eliminated the need for baking powder and salt. I toasted the walnuts. This is not a "cake-like" consistency but Mississipi Mud cake isn't supposed to have a cake-like consistency. It's like a very rich brownie covered with melted marshmallows and topped with a wonderful chocolate frosting. We loved it and my daughter said I could do this for her birthday from now on. The richness cries out for a tall glass of cold milk; pure Heaven. Thank you for sharing!!
Delicious. I made it for my daughter's 20th birthday and because she doesn't care for walnuts and her father's allergic to them, I left them out.
This is the best, my mom made this when I was growing up. Melts in your mouth!!!!!!
This was extremely sweet, in fact, too sweet for me. But, I took it to a potluck and everyone else seemed to like it, hence the 4 star review.
Great recipe...delicious!!
