Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup butter with cocoa, stirring often. Remove from the heat and add white sugar. Beat until well combined, then beat in eggs, one at a time.

Step 3

Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined, then stir in walnuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes.

Step 4

While the cake is baking, make the icing: Beat remaining 1/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla with cocoa, milk, and confectioner's sugar until well combined.

Step 5

Remove cake from the oven and spread marshmallow cream over top. Spoon icing over marshmallow cream while cake is still hot; spread with a spatula for a "muddied" look.
