Method:

  1. Heat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.

  4. Stir in the beaten eggs, vanilla, sugar, flour, salt, and pecans, and beat with a wooden spoon or spatula or with a mixer at low speed until the batter is well combined and smooth, and the flour has disappeared.

  6. In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar and the cocoa, and stir to mix them well.

  8. Remove the cake from the oven, scatter the marshmallows over the top, and return the cake to the hot oven for about 3 mins to soften the marshmallows.
  9. Place the cake on a wire rack.
  10. Pour the frosting all over the marshmallow-dotted cake, and cool to room temperature.
