Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer until thick. Add sugar and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, flour, cocoa, salt, coconut, and pecans. Add to egg mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-28 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting:
  • In a clean bowl, stir together the melted butter and cocoa powder. Add vanilla and 2 cups of the powdered sugar and beat well.
  • Add half of the milk, followed by remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar. Beat until smooth, adding more milk to reach desired consistency if needed.
  • When cake is done, immediately remove from oven and spread marshmallow creme over the top. Spread frosting over marshmallow creme and use a spatula or knife to swirl them together. Enjoy!
