I made this and added 1 t coffee and 1 t baking powder and half baking soda as wasn't sure if needed it or not. It was really yummy and my children and I gobbled it up in record time. Please can anyone let me know if it is supposed to have baking powder in???

Recipe identical to the recipe I've for at least 30 years, with a couple of exceptions, mine calls for 1 cup walnut, and only 3 cups miniature marshmallows. I prefer pecans, in Texas we use pecans anytime it calls for nuts. This is a wonderful cake that everyone loves.

Yummy! Rich, sweet and decadent. Made for a pot luck and everyone enjoyed it. I've made several different mud cakes, this is the first one that used marshmallows instead of marshmallow cream. I found that when the cake was cooled prior to frosting, the marshmallows stayed whole and were easily discerned in the finished product which is OK if you like marshmallows. Next time I'll warm briefly in the oven to soften them before adding the frosting, and lightly swirl together. Southern Living recipes are always good. They're the only ones I'll make for company without trying first. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I was so excited about this cake as I had these marshamallows to use in the house from a recipe that didn't get made. I'm sorry to say that we just didn't like this at all. I used high quality cocoa and everything. It just didn't taste good for us.

I have used this same similar recipe for at least 35 plus years. I too, got this recipe from my grandmother, whom made this recipe all the time when we were young. It has a brownie texture with a rich-sweet marshmallow and chocolate frosting. I always swirl the frosting a little bit into the marshmallow to make it look like mud.

Wonderful cake - chewy - dense.. a real treat. Served warm with ice cream on top. Great for those chocoholics in the family. The 2nd time I made it, I used Donna's suggestion for icing except I used sweetened condensed milk by mistake and ended up poking holes in the cake to let this incredibly sweet icing get inside. Topped with mellows and placed in the warm oven long enough to melt the mellows. WOW! Not for the calorie or sugar concious that's for sure.

This is my grandmother's recipe exactly - except she adds nuts to icing as well - but it's probably the best Mississippi Mud Cake I've ever had - me and my 47 first cousins!! It's always gone before dinner or supper starts!! SOOO GOOD!!!!!

This has a nice moist, dense texture and I really like it! I left out the pecans, my husband doesn't like nuts in his cake! My kids liked it too! Thanks for a nice cake!
