Chocoaltey Goodness aka Mississippi Mud Cake
Lacey Olson, 01/08

2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. margarine
4 eggs- yes, 4 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. cocoa
3 tsp. vanilla
a bunch of mini marshmallows or if you are partial to the jumbo marshmallows feel free to use those.

Cream the sugar, butter, and eggs. Sift the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Add and blend the vanilla. Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes. Once baked, spread one layer of mini or jumbo marshmallows over the top. Bake for another 10 minutes at the same temperature. Then, beat together this icing recipe when the cake is cooled:

3/4 c. margarine melted (1 1/2 sticks of margarine)
3 3/4 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

After cake is cooled and the icing is ready pour it on top of the marshmallows. Then, it's supposed to sit for 3-4 hours before you cut it, I guess for the icing and marshmallows to set (if you can resist!).
