Best Mississippi Mud Cake Made In The Microwave Recipes

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then the boiling water. Let it bubble up for a few seconds, then turn it off and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and stir a few times to start to cool the chocolate.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Pour over the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows over the cake, then return the dish to the oven to broil until the marshmallows start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• For the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the milk and cocoa powder. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar in 4 to 5 additions. Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
• Pour the icing all over the marshmallows, allowing some marshmallows to remain visible. Let the icing set, then deliver or serve.

Steps:

• 1. To make cake, put butter in large mixing bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1½ minutes until melted. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder. Add eggs and vanilla; beat vigorously by hand until well-blended. Stir in salt, flour, and walnuts. Let batter rest 10 minutes.
• 2. Pour into an 11¾ x7 ½ inch (or close to it) microwave-safe baking dish (I use glass). Place on a plastic trivet or inverted saucer in microwave oven. Microwave on medium 9 minutes, rotating dish ½ turn after 3 minutes unless your microwave has a turntable. Microwave on high 3 to 5 minutes (5 to 7 minutes at high altitude), rotating dish ½ turn once until top is mostly dry with a few moist spots and pick inserted near center comes out clean. Be careful not to over-bake or cake will become hard around the edges.
• 3. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over top of cake. Let stand about 5 minutes until marshmallows are slightly melted (I put a piece of foil loosely on top.)
• 4. Meanwhile: To make frosting, put butter in large bowl. Microwave on high 30 to 60 seconds until melted. Stir in milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Add confectioner's sugar; beat vigorously until smooth. Spread evenly over marshmallows (cake will be warm). Let stand on flat heatproof surface 30 minutes until slightly warm, or cool completely and serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers in a cool place.
