Marshmallow Chocolate Cake
Marshmallow Chocolate Cake Tender-and-tasty chocolate cake topped with a layer of gooey, melty marshmallow and rich chocolaty-fudgy icing. It's pure chocolate deliciousness!
Last week's snow storm brought us a tiny bit of snow, and a whole lot of sleet and freezing rain ... which in the South, is even worse than snow. Sleet and freezing rain mean layers of ice on the roads ... Which also means NObody is going ANYwhere for quite some time.
And that's exactly what happened to us.
The storm resulted in us being home bound for a total of six days. Six days. Waiting for the temperatures and sun to turn warm enough to melt away the imprisoning ice.

So what exactly does one do when home bound for six days? I don't know about you, but I for one start to go a bit stir crazy.
And then I bake. Which probably comes as no surprise.
Yes, this cake was one of my please-save-me-from-going-stir-crazy baking projects. And let me just tell you, it is indeed rich and delicious.
To create this little beauty, start with a boxed Devil's Food cake mix and doctor it up a bit. Or, you could make a scratch-made cake with your favorite go-to recipe.
Once the cake is baked in a 9x13" pan, smother it with mini marshmallows as soon as the cake comes out of the oven.
Then pour a rich boiled chocolate icing ... {think Texas Sheet Cake-type icing} ... all over the top, sealing that layer of marshmallows in a coating of chocolate deliciousness.
The marshmallows will melt a bit from the heat of the warm cake below, and rich boiled icing above.
The result?

Oh, this Marshmallow Chocolate Cake was definitely worth being snowed in for six days.
Okay, so maybe that's stretching it just a tad bit far ... This cake is absolutely delicious, but truth-be-told, I still think I'd rather have been able to get out of my house.
