I have never attempted to make one of these cakes but this one looks pretty easy. I will have to give it a try. Wish me luck. LOL


This cake reminds me of the one my great aunt used to mske when we would visit her in the country. Yummy- I will have to try this soon!


Thank you for posting this recipe. This is close to a Missssippi Mud cake my grandmother use to make. I have been looking for her recipe or something close to it for a long time. I will have to try this and see if it comes close the taste of my grandmother's. I always remember her marshmellows inside the cake but I might be mistaken. Again thanks for posting this.


My grandaughter is sitting by me and wants me to fix it for her .So wish me luck.


I can't wait to make this! I will be very popular in our home when I do!!


My sis and I were just talking about this cake a couple of days ago. Bookmarking this one but still looking for my Mom's recipe. Will post when I find it.


What difference would it make if I didn't use self-rising flour. Much?
And how much powdered sugar is in a box? The dad likes to buy in bulk so I have it in a big bag. :P


I found it!


I am gonna make this for a party I am going to this Thursday. I hope it turns out ok


YUMMY


Sounds delicious!!! I've always wondered about the history of this cake cause it sounds like it has some stories behind it. I'm definitely trying this!
