Mississippi Mud Sheet Cake Recipes

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the vegetable oil, warm coffee, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
• In a medium bowl sift together the flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently whisk together until fully combined.
• Fill the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back lightly when pressed on, or a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately add the whole bag of marshmallows over the top of the hot cake and return to the oven. Bake for 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows are starting to puff and melt.
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Drizzle the frosting over the cake while the frosting is still warm. Allow to chill in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes until the frosting has set before serving.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then the boiling water. Let it bubble up for a few seconds, then turn it off and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and stir a few times to start to cool the chocolate.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Pour over the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows over the cake, then return the dish to the oven to broil until the marshmallows start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• For the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the milk and cocoa powder. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar in 4 to 5 additions. Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
• Pour the icing all over the marshmallows, allowing some marshmallows to remain visible. Let the icing set, then deliver or serve.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch cake pan.
• In a large sauce pan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the butter with the cocoa. Stir often. Remove from heat and add white sugar, beat well. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the egg mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and spread the marshmallow cream over the cake. Spoon chocolate icing over marshmallow topping while the cake is still hot and spread. The cake will get "muddied" by the spreading action.
• To Make Icing: Beat together the remaining 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the milk, and the confectioner's sugar. Once well combined spoon over the still hot cake.
