1/2 cups Cocoa
4 whole Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1-1/2 cup Flour, White
1-1/2 cup Pecans, Chopped
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 box Powdered Sugar (For Icing)

4 cups Marshmallows, Minature (may Be Less) (For Icing)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan. Prepare the icing before making the cake. When it's time to ice, you might need to microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to pour over the cake.
2
FOR THE ICING:
3
Mix all icing ingredients (except marshmallows) until smooth. Set aside.
4
FOR THE CAKE:
5
Mix flour and cocoa in a bowl.
6
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs and beat until creamy.
7
Add flour mixture, beating well until smooth.
8
Hand mix in nuts and vanilla.
9
Pour into pan and bake for 10-15 minutes.
10
Remove and immediately sprinkle the top with the marshsmallows. Pour icing on marshmallows, covering top.
11
Turn oven to broil and broil 1 minute. Be very careful here NOT to burn the icing. You just want the marshmallows to melt and mix in with the icing, creating a mess (that looks like Mississippi River mud).
