Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Butter |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 1 | Coconut flakes |
| 2 | Sugar |
| 1 1/2 | All-purpose flour |
| 1/3 | Cocoa |
| 1 | Vanilla extract |
| 1 | Marshmallow cream |
| 13 | Butter |
| 1/2 | Margarine |
| 6 | Milk |
| 1/3 | Confectioners’ sugar |
| 4 | Nuts |
Instructions:
-
Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and margarine in a large bowl until smooth.
-
Slightly beat the eggs and then add them to the butter mixture. Mix well to combine.
-
Add the coconut flakes, sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa, vanilla extract, and nuts to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. The batter will be quite heavy, so avoid overmixing.
-
Grease a 9x13x2 inch baking pan and spread the batter evenly into it.
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and bake the cake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once the cake is done baking, immediately spread the marshmallow cream over the top while it’s still hot from the oven. This will allow the cream to melt slightly and create a deliciously gooey layer.
-
Allow the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes before preparing the frosting.
-
To make the frosting, mix together all the frosting ingredients except for the nuts, using the slow speed of your mixer. This will ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Pour the frosting over the marshmallow cream layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Finally, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the cake to add a crunchy and nutty finish.
-
Slice the Arkansas Mud Cake into squares and serve it either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this indulgent dessert with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
