This recipe is from my Great Grandma Wanlass. We have been making it every Thanksgiving for a few years and it is one of my most favorite desserts!! I didn't get a picture before people started digging in. I wish I had saved a piece-I am craving it right now!
Mississippi Mud Cake
Mix together:
2 sticks of butter
2 cups sugar

4 eggs
Slowly add:
1 1/2 cups sifted flour

Cook at 325 in a greased 9x13 pan for 35-40 minutes. Once out of the oven, spread a jar of marshmallow cream over the cake while it is still warm. Let cake cool completely.
Frosting:

Mix together and frost over cooled cake.
