¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

  • Pour batter over marshmallows, making sure that marshmallows are covered, and that the batter reaches all sides of the pan.

Rich, moist and chocolaty, this scrumptious cake is very versatile. It freezes well...and the chocolate chip topping makes it easy to pack in lunches and carry along to picnics. At home, we like it topped with vanilla ice cream.
