Instructions:
-
Melt butter and chocolate: Begin by melting the butter and chocolate together, then set the mixture aside to cool.
-
Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In another large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
-
Incorporate chocolate mixture: Once the butter and chocolate mixture has cooled, add it to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition until a smooth batter forms.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 13×9-inch pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare marshmallow topping: While the cake is baking, set aside 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows for later. Sprinkle the remaining marshmallows evenly over the top of the baked cake.
-
Return to oven: Place the cake back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows on top are lightly toasted and gooey.
-
Make chocolate marshmallow glaze: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it boil for 90 seconds, stirring constantly.
-
Incorporate chocolate chips: After boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Add the reserved 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows and stir until they begin to melt and incorporate into the glaze.
-
Drizzle over cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the warm chocolate marshmallow glaze over the top, ensuring that it covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy this indulgent treat with friends and family, and revel in the delightful combination of chocolate cake, marshmallow topping, and rich chocolate marshmallow glaze.
