Description
A decadent cake layering creamy chocolate, crunchy pecans, and fluffy marshmallows on a rich brownie base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the batter into one prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the brownie layer cool completely.
- Repeat steps 2-4 to create two more brownie layers.
- Place the first brownie layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of melted marshmallows on top. Add the second brownie layer, repeating with another marshmallow layer. Place the third brownie layer on top.
- Heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate chips and dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the top layer, allowing it to flow down the sides. Let the ganache set before serving.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining pecans and mini marshmallows. Enjoy!
