Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a suitable baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form.

  8. Once the cake has cooled slightly, spread the whipped marshmallow mixture generously on top. For an extra touch, return it to the oven for a few minutes until the marshmallows soften.
