Ingredients

16 servings

For the cake

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
3 cups mini marshmallows

For the frosting

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.
3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
