"OTCC - Mississippi Mud Cake" |
My mother first introduced this little diet-breaker to our family Christmas in 1968. I inherited responsibility for making it in 1998. At first I was panicking that it would be way beyond my culinary non-expertise, but my mother was still healthy enough to talk me through my first endeavor.I've experimented a couple of times, replacing the walnuts with macadamias one year (I had just returned from Hawaii) and using whole wheat flour (don't). Anyway -- enjoy. FRAN’S MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE Ingredients: CAKE 4 eggs 2 cups sugar 2 sticks butter/margarine, melted 1 ½ cup sifted flour 1/3 cup cocoa 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup angel flake coconut 1 to 2 cups walnuts or pecans, chopped 1 jar marshmallow crème Beat eggs and sugar until they are thick. Combine melted butter/margarine, flour, cocoa and vanilla. Fold in nuts and coconut. Pour into greased and floured 13x9 inch pan and bake at 350° F for 30-35 minutes. Use toothpick to check for doneness. Remove cake from oven, immediately spread marshmallow crème. Let cake set and cool just a bit before frosting. While frosting, allow chocolate frosting and marshmallow crème to combine slightly in swirls. Frosting can be prepared while cake is baking. FROSTING: 1 stick butter/margarine, melted 3 Tbls. milk 1/3 cup cocoa 1-1 lb box powdered sugar 1 to 2 cups chopped nuts (optional) Combine dry ingredients, add butter/margarine, beat well (add nuts). Spread frosting over marshmallow crème (see note above). Allow cake to cool thoroughly before serving. Keep covered.

Oh let's be adventurous. I have the worst luck with cakes (with several ovens, pans, baking powders, flours, etc.). I will try this if you will!

Rob would love this, he's a marshmallow fluff freak. I'm not showing this until we've gotten our diet back on track. Maybe some individual little ones after a while.

I made this last night-it was pretty quick and easy. I had forgotten that Mississippi Mud Cake wasn't a "traditional" tall and fluffy cake, and was almost more like a raised bar.I cut a piece and shared some bites with Nolay this morning. It was very good and moist. Changes I made: I realized I didn't have any cocoa powder, so I cut the butter and substituted with unsweetened baking squares. I also didn't add nuts to the frosting. Nolay only marginally likes pecans in things and will barely tolerate coconut. I agree with Seanna, it's very, very sweet and wonder if one could successfully cut 1/2 c. sugar out. This would be great to bring to a potluck. Cut the pieces small! And don't have this for dessert after making one of the cream heavy recipes on OTCC. Thanks, moley! -A Tribetastic Creation

I am making this for a potluck party we are invited to tonight. We have some serious chocoholic/sweet tooths, so I am sure this will go over very well. And yeah me! -- I have really bad luck with cakes, but I am getting over my cake anxiety and will make this recipe for the first time for the party tonight. No pressure, Moley!~
Pad Thai coming up soon, then just have to find a butcher since our safeway doesn't carry beef ribs and I will be all caught up.

Absolutely Heavenly. It was a big hit at the party. I hope you can forgive me, but littlest DD insisted it needed sprinkles. I'll be back to post a picture soon -- our camera seems to have walked off. Thanks Moley!

And in honor of Mr. Molaholic's professionCONCLUSION In conclusion, I really liked this recipe and I learned alot. -------------- It was really good. Really, really good. We all loved the texture and the coconut. I didn't add nuts because of allergy concerns, so I threw in a handful of chocolate chips instead. And like I posted before, my daughter insisted that it needed sprinkles (I thought the confetti variety would be better, bcause the smaller kind would give a crunchiness that would detract from the luxuriousness). I couldn't quite do the swirly marshmallow/chocolate icing thing, but it turned out really well keeping the layers separate. Next time I make it for potluck, I will make it in a disposable aluminum pan. I made it in my pampered chef stoneware (and it turned out wonderfully!) but I had to transfer it because I was concerned that the stoneware would keep the cake too warm and continue to bake it and that if we had to leave early, it would be hard to get my pan back. Other things I learned while making this 1. 1 TBSP of cocoa only has 20 Calories and 10% of your daily recommended allowance of iron. So this dessert is very, very healthy! 2. margarine, water and paper fibers from a Dr. Suess book are very effective at plugging the bathroom sink. 3. in an older house with wooden cabinetry, when said cabinetry gets flooded with water, the drawers can swell so much that they become impossible to open. 4. cantalopes don't bounce no matter how many times you try 5. an 11 year old can't be trusted to keep her brother out of trouble for 15 minutes if there are any Mediator books around.
