Easy Mississippi Mud Sheet Cake

"This is an easy one-bowl cake that is nothing short of amazing! --- make certain to prepare the frosting glaze while the cake is baking as it must be added on while the cake is still warm, no baking powder or soda in this cake, it's a rich dense chocolate cake that more like a brownie texture."

  1. I have used this recipe for over 20 years and it is still a family favorite and a must have at every holiday get together. i always heat my frosting til it is almost like fudge and pour it over the warm marshmallows. There is never any leftovers!!
     
  2. Eating this cake was a first for me, and am now sure that I will make it again and again. I liked it better the second day and as the cake aged, I thought that it steadily improved. The only two changes I made was to add a grated chocolate bar which had nuts in it, instead of the walnuts called for in the recipe; and added chocolate chips along with the chocolate bar. This cake is delicious and it's hard to refuse just one more piece.
     
  3. This has always been one of my favorite cakes so I decided to treat myself and DH and make this for Kitten in honor of her husband, John. It is so rich and dense and just absolutely yummy!
     
  4. This cake has been around a while. It is soooo delicious, rich and yummy. Thanks for bringing it back to memory. Will make it soon. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. This cake is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt....but it is delicious! This is quite possibly the strangest looking cake I've ever made, but despite that, I'll make it again. I may decrease the amount of marshmallows next time, but after waiting a day or so, I may rethink that. I have a feeling they are what is going to keep this cake moist....I have a cake that I bake the marshmallows in, and it gets moister and tastier as it sits. The frosting is too thick to "drizzle", so I just plopped it on and tried to smear it around. The result is my strange looking photo! Don't let my photo scare you, this cake is delicious! Made for Newest Zaar Tag!
