Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups butter, softened
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
½ cup milk
3 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch cake pan.
  • In a large sauce pan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the butter with the cocoa. Stir often. Remove from heat and add white sugar, beat well. Beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the egg mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and spread the marshmallow cream over the cake. Spoon chocolate icing over marshmallow topping while the cake is still hot and spread. The cake will get "muddied" by the spreading action.
  • To Make Icing: Beat together the remaining 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the milk, and the confectioner's sugar. Once well combined spoon over the still hot cake.

MY MOTHER'S MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE



My Mother's Mississippi Mud Cake image

There are many recipes here for this, but my mom's seems to be just a bit different. I had to post for her. I have made this often but I must confess I do not eat it because I don't like coconut (good diet dish -- for me at least -- to bring to pot luck) -- people who will eat coconut always rave about this.

Time 50m

Yield 1 13x9 pan

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/3 cups shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups other nuts
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup Milnot Condensed Milk
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup margarine

Steps:

  • For Cake: Cream together margarine, sugar and cocoa.

  • While still hot, spread a jar of marshmallow creme over cake.
  • For Icing: Mix together all ingredients for icing and spread over cake.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect Mississippi Mud Cake, it's crucial to let the layers cool completely before assembling the cake. This will prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality cocoa powder in both the cake layers and the frosting.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • To ensure even baking, tap the cake pan on the counter a few times before placing it in the oven. This will help to release any air bubbles and create a smooth, level cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
  • For a decadent touch, top the cake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts.
