Mississippi Mud cake

2 c. sugar

1 c. oil

4 eggs

1 1/4 c. flour

1/3 c. cocoa (Hershey’s, not the kind that you make choc milk, the baking kind)

1 c. pecans

1/4 tsp. salt

3 T vanilla

Cream sugar, oil and eggs together by hand. Add flour, cocoa, salt. Add vanilla and nuts. Mix well by hand. Spray 9 x13 pour in mixture. Bake @ 350 for about 30 mins . Cool 10 mins then spread a jar of marshmellow cream on top. I let this set up for awhile.

ICING

1 stick butter

1 bag of powder sugar

1 c. pecans

1/2 can evaporated milk

1/2 c. cocoa

1 tsp. vanilla

Melt butter, milk and vanilla. I just heat in small saucepan until melted and heated thru. Pour over cocoa. Start out with maybe 1/2 bag of powder sugar and you can always add more if needed. Should be somewhat of a thick icing. Spread over marshmellow cream.
