A delightful dessert combining chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows in a moist, fudgy cake, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownie base is still warm, sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
- Add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips (if using).
- Place the pan back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff up slightly.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the marshmallow and nut topping.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
