1/2 C. cocoa
1 box powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/2 C. evaporated milk
Preheat the oven to 300° F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add sugar and
shortening and cream together. Add eggs and vanilla and beats 30 seconds. In
a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa and salt together. Add to the mixture
and beat until well combined. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured
9 x 13-inch glass baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
Make the frosting while the cake is baking. In the bowl of an electric

marshmallows on top of the cake and return the pan to the oven for 5 more
minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Evenly apply the
frosting. Allow this to stand about 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Note: If the marshmallows are too hot, the frosting will sink right through.
The frosting should be the top layer. It will darken once it hits the heat
of the cake. Enjoy.
