I love this cake!! I just read about the person that wrote about making it with all purpose flour ,that is what I will do next time I make it.I have only made this one time but will definitely make again this way.Thanks for the tip.

We all just love it. I can't help but say mmmmmmm with each bite. Once we accidentally used plain flour instead of self rising and liked it even better.

This is one of those gooey treats that you can't wait to dig into. It is super rich, but so very delicious! I am already planning to make it again! Chocolate and marshmallow - a guaranteed pleaser!

Really a kids cake, I think. This is an intensely rich, super sweet cake. My son liked it enough that he asked to have it as his birthday cake, but without the pecans, which he didn't like. I didn't like it as well as I thought I would, just because after a few bites it's really plenty. But kids have a great tolerance for sweetness. Really

This was one of the best homemade cakes I have ever made! What a HIT! Very rich, VERY! I would half the frosting next time. I think it would be good with walnuts too!

My husband likes this as his birthday cake every year. A great shortcut is to use a box of devil food cake as the chocolate part and then add the marshmallow and chocolate toppings.

This is one of my favorite Taste of Home recipes. I've been making it for years. It's quick, easy, and rates with the best of them when you want a rich chocolate dessert.
