Hi! had a few asking for the recipe, so here it is:

Ingredients:
CAKE:
1 cp butter
2 cps sugar
1/3 cp cocoa
4 eggs
1 1/2 cp flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 cp nuts (I like almonds)
1/4 tsp salt


FROSTING:
1/2 cp cocoa
1 stick margarine/butter (melted)
1 box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cp evaporated milk
1/4 cp chopped nuts
1 jar marshmallow creme

CAKE:
Mix butter & sugar, add in eggs and cocoa. Sift in flour & cocoa. Finally add vanilla & nuts. Pour into 9 x 13 pan and bake @ 325* for 45 minutes. (or until cake is done)

While cake is still hot, empty jar of marshmallow creme on top and spread evenly. Mix frosting ingredients and pour onto cake. Let cool for 30 minutes and refrigerate for at least an hour.

I'm going to do one of those while the kids are home :) I'm not sure that we have marshmallow creme here though, we used to just have marshmallow fluff.

Hopefully they will love it! Happy to pass on a family favorite...Marshmallow fluff should work the same way. You can use real marshmallows and layer them across the top. But they don't melt as well.

Quick question....for cake you say do eggs butter sugar and cocoa....then you say mix in flour and cocoa? A little confused. Help please. I don't see two separate portions of cocoa.
