How to Make Mississippi Mud Cake Ii

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, melt butter and cocoa together in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Add sugar and eggs to the melted butter mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in nuts, coconut, and vanilla extract.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and immediately spoon marshmallow cream evenly over the hot cake.
While the marshmallow cream is still warm and soft, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, cream together the icing butter and cocoa until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the chocolate icing over the marshmallow layer. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the icing into the marshmallow cream to create a “mud” effect.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
