Mississippi Mud Cake

Mississippi Mud Cake

Apparently my grandma used to make this all the time. By the time I was around the standard was lemon Jell-O cake, pound cake, and homemade ice cream. But when someone finally made it while I was in college, I could see why it was my cousin's favorite ever.

Beat 4 eggs until lemony-colored. Add 2 cups sugar, 2 sticks melted margarine, 1 ½ cups flour, 1/3 cocoa, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 ½ cups chopped nuts. Pour into 9x13 greased and floured pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. While hot, spread 1 medium sized jar marshmallow crème on top.

Frosting:
1 stick margarine
6 tbsp milk
1/3 cocoa
1 box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts

Mix frosting and spread on cooled cake.
