Description

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. 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.
  5. While the brownie base is still warm, sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
  6. Add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Place the pan back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff up slightly.
  8. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer.
  9. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the marshmallow and nut topping.
  11. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
