Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350°.
Whisk cocoa into melted butter until well blended. Add sugar and eggs, and either whisk or use a hand mixer. Beat in flour, salt, nuts and vanilla.
Scrape batter into lightly greased 13 x 9 inch dish and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately top with miniature marshmallows.
Top marshmallows with chocolate frosting.
Frosting
Using hand mixer, blend together 1 stick softened butter, 1/3 cup cocoa and 1 box powdered sugar.
Mix in milk until frosting is smooth and creamy.
Frosting will be thick, so just drop it over the marshmallows and then smooth out.
Allow cake to cool before cutting.
