Ingredients:
• 1 cup stick margarine or butter, softened (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 2 egg whites
• 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
•
• FROSTING:
• 1/2 cup stick margarine or butter, softened (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
• 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 to 5 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and egg substitute, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to creamed mixture until blended. Fold in the pecans.

2. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 3 minutes (cake will fall in the center). Spoon the marshmallow creme over cake; carefully spread to cover top. Cool completely.

3. For frosting, in a small bowl, cream margarine and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the cocoa, vanilla and enough milk to achieve frosting consistency. Fold in pecans. Spread over marshmallow creme layer. Store in the refrigerator.


Editor's Note: As a substitute for 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour, place 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup. Combine with an additional 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
