Cake:
1 cup (240 ml) butter or margarine, softened
4 T (60 ml) cocoa
2 cups (480 ml) sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups (360 ml) flour
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) vanilla
1-1/2 cups (360 ml) pecans (optional)
About 8 oz (224 g) miniature marshmallows
Frosting:
4 T (60 ml) butter or margarine
1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated milk
Dash salt
16 oz (448 g) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) cocoa

Recipe
To prepare cake combine butter, cocoa, sugar, eggs (one at a
time), flour, salt, baking powder, vanilla and pecans in mixing
bowl. Spread mixture into greased 13x9-inch (33x23-cm) baking
pan.
Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and
immediately pour marshmallows evenly over top. (Spread them in
a single layer, completely covering cake.)
To prepare frosting combine butter, milk and salt in a saucepan
and bring to a boil. Boil slowly for 1 minute.
Sift powdered sugar and stir in cocoa. Add to hot milk mixture.
Add vanilla and beat until smooth. (If frosting seems too thick,
add more milk.) While still hot, pour evenly over marshmallows.
Cool and serve.
Makes 20-24 servings.
