Mississippi Mud Cake (Two sizes; opt. Pecans)
This retro Southern dessert features a rich buttermilk chocolate cake, a layer of toasted marshmallows, a fudgy chocolate icing which is poured warm over the marshmallow layer, and a general scattering of toasted pecans on top (optional but recommended). Rich, sweet, gooey, chocolately! Sure to put a smile on kids' faces, and more than a few adults', remembering treats from their childhood. Would make a great addition to a graduation party buffet (more interesting than the ubiquitous yellow cake with school colors icing)! Available with pecans, half-pecans, or no pecans, and in two sizes.
