Instructions

Cake Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

  • Slowly pour the butter/chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir.
  • Mix eggs, milk, vinegar, baking soda and vanilla together in a small bowl. Add to the large bowl and mix until combined.
  • Pour batter into a greased 12" x 17" baking sheet.

Frosting Instructions

  • Heat butter, cocoa powder, vanilla and milk in a saucepan until butter has melted. Pour over powdered sugar and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Stir in marshmallows.
