📝 Instructions

2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract; mix well.
4: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7: Remove the cake from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top; return to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes until they’re soft.
8: For the chocolate frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cocoa powder and milk, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky smooth.
9: Pour the warm chocolate frosting evenly over the cake.
10: Top with chopped pecans and extra marshmallows. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
