Serving Size : 10

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk

2 cups miniature marshmallows

6 tablespoons milk

1 cup chopped pecans

Also called Heavenly Hash Cake or Cookie Sheet Cake

Part 1 - combine flour, sugar, salt in large mixing bowl.

Part 2 - in boiler combine butter, water, oil, and cocoa. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. (You may do this in the microwave). Pour over Part 1 and mix well.

Part 3 - Mix buttermilk, soda, eggs, and vanilla and add to parts 1 & 2.

Pour into large (12 x 17) greased and floured cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes.

While cake is cooking, prepare icing by placing the butter, cocoa, and milk in saucepan or use microwave container and heat until hot, just to melt butter. Do not boil. Add remaining ingredients. Pour over warm cake and let cool enough to eat, if you can :)

About 3 minutes before removing cake from oven, place 2 cups of miniature marshmallows on top of cake and return to oven. Let marshmallows puff. Remove from oven and pour icing over.

Option: (A necessity at this house) Add 1 cup chopped pecans to icing mixture.
