- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3⁄4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract; mix well.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes until they’re soft.
- For the chocolate frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cocoa powder and milk, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky smooth.
- Pour the warm chocolate frosting evenly over the cake.
- Top with chopped pecans and extra marshmallows. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
