MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

     MISS-MUD-CAKE - Mississippi mud cake

INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 large-pan cake)
     1 cup     margarine
     1/2 cup   cocoa
     2 cups    sugar
     4         eggs, slightly beaten
     1 tsp     vanilla
     1 1/2 cup flour
     1/8 tsp   salt
     1 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
     2 cups    miniature marshmallows

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.

          (2)  Melt the margarine in a saucepan.

          (3)  Add the cocoa, and stir until blended.

          (4)  Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the sugar,
               eggs, vanilla, and mix them all together.

          (5)  Combine the flour, salt, and the nuts in a bowl,
               and stir so that the nuts are coated with the
               flour.  Add this gradually to the mixture in the
               saucepan.

          (6)  Spoon this into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan and bake
               for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven.

          (7)  Spread the marshmallows on the warm cake.

     its name. It may not look like much, but it sure tastes
     great.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 40 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
