Ingredients for Heavenly Hash Cake

  • 2 cups (4 sticks) softened butter
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Cocoa
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Heavenly Hash Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Immediately after removing from the oven, evenly cover the hot cake with 1 (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the icing evenly over the hot marshmallow layer.
  9. Let the cake cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
