PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"OTCC - Mississippi Mud Cake" Posted by Molaholic on 12-24-09 at 03:37 PM

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.
