Fluffy Mississippi Mud Cake Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel 3 Comments

Fluffy Mississippi Mud Cake at FoodApparel.comOne of my favorite foods that I grew weak in the knees for after meeting my husband was pecans. His gramps used to make the most amazing candied pecans and turtles.  If you have never had a fresh homemade candied pecan or turtle, you are missing out! And the special TLC that Gramps gave this treat, even down to the packaging, gave pecans a whole new meaning to me.

Mississippi Mud is a Southern staple.  This dessert is commonly served as a chocolate pie. However, I prefer this cake version. The cake is more thick and fudgy like a brownie. How can you go wrong when you start with that? Then, smother it in gooey marshmallows, toasted pecans and a frosting glaze, and you got yourself some good stuff! Don’t forget to toast your nuts and sneak them in, even for those who don’t love nuts.

    looks so delicious… it’s also making me weak in the knees. question: do the leftovers (if there are any) need to be refrigerated?

    No they don’t have to be refrigerated. Just guard them closely!
