- Melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in cocoa, sugar, eggs, flour salt, and vanilla. Fold in nuts. Spray a 17 x 11 x 1-inch jelly roll pan (or can make this in a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
- Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes if using jelly roll pan or about 30 to 35 if using 9 x 13 pan checking for doneness as ovens vary.
- Remove from oven and spread marshmallows on top while the cake is still hot. (I put mine back in the oven for about 2 minutes to let the marshmallows begin to melt. Add frosting below over marshmallows.
Beat all the frosting ingredients together with a mixer. Spread over cake.
