\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\n2 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 1\/2 cups granulated sugar
\n1\/2 cup light brown sugar , packed
\n3\/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
\n2 teaspoons baking powder
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons baking soda
\n3\/4 teaspoon salt
\n3\/4 cup oil , canola or vegetable
\n2 eggs
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n6 Tablespoons milk
\n1\/3 cup sour cream
\n1 cup boiling water<\/p>\n

For Topping:<\/b>
\n10.5 ounce package mini marshmallows
\n1\/2 cup butter (1 stick)
\n6 Tablespoons milk
\n3 heaping Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n3 cups powdered sugar<\/p>\n

Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13” baking pan.
\nIn a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
\nAdd oil, eggs, vanilla, milk and sour cream and mix until combined. Reduce speed and carefully pour in the boiling water. Beat on high speed for 1 minute to add air to the batter.
\nPour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
\nRemove cake from oven and sprinkle marshmallows all over the top of the hot cake, completely covering it.
\nReturn to oven (at 350 degrees F) for 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are just slightly puffed and melted.
\nAllow cake to cool completely before drizzling frosting on top.<\/p>\n

Frosting<\/b>
\nMelt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
\nAdd milk and cocoa powder and whisk well. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
\nRemove from heat and stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to make the frosting smooth.
\nDrizzle warm frosting immediately over cake. Refrigerate cake for about 30 minutes or until frosting has set. Store at room temperature.<\/p>\n
