MOM'S MARSHMALLOW FUDGE CAKE



Mom's Marshmallow Fudge Cake image

This recipe was given to me by my mother. Be aware that this is only for those that have a BIG sweet tooth! Don't say I didn't warn ya! Also, I'm having to translate the recipe from french to english so, I apologize in advance if there should be any typos. Please read the recipe in it's entirety before attempting to make since the marshmallows in the cake section doesn't get baked and the white powdered sugar in the fudge section gets added after the mixture has cooled a little. I don't make this recipe often since my husand is a chocolate man and he won't eat anything else but chocolate desserts! The man doesn't know what he's missing out on!! *LOL* This is a very sweet buttery dessert.

Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Older marshmallows may not melt as smoothly and may result in a grainy frosting.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar syrup is ready. Drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Beat the frosting until it is thick and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting and make it light and creamy.
  • If you are using the frosting on a cake, let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Marshmallow fudge frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its rich, creamy flavor and fluffy texture, marshmallow fudge frosting is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
