For those who say this is not a Mississippi Mud Cake like they grew up with, you are right. HOWEVER, on the show Paula said this was a Texas Sheet Cake with the marshmallows added in likea Mud Cake. In my opinion, the best chocolate cake ever made is a Texas Sheet cake. You can not beat this recipe. Try following the directions exactly, i.e. don't try to boil cocoa powder without any liquids added to it!

This was just awful, I think bringing the cocoa in a saucepan to boil was where it went wrong because the cake and icing just tasted burnt and I knew when I was making this it wasn't right but followed the recipe. I didn't overcook it because it was still a little gooey in the middle. I like Paula Dean recipes, but this was bad.

This recipe was good, I loved the cake the best! But it was extremely sweet, which my husband loves. Next time I'll make it a dark chocolate frosting with less sugar. But I will definately make this cake again!

I made it, for my daughter birthday. Was too sweet, the cake was nice and moisture, but the icing was extremely sweet. No one can eat it. Sorry Paula you are great but this time was not my favorite. I keep trying.

I made this for my mom's birthday and it was such a hit! The cake was moist and delicious, and there was plenty of icing. Next time I think I might put the icing and walnuts on top of the cake and then put on the marshmallows rather than putting them on top of marshmallows. I put the cake back in the oven (after it was turned off but still warm to melt the marshmallows...mmm so good! I definitly recommend heating up the slices in the microwave to get all melty and delicious. Even putting the icing on top of the marshmallows, it still seeped in and went down into the cake. I will definitely make this again! I also want to try her other Mississippie Mud Cake.

I love Paula Deen, but this is the worst Mississip mud cake I have ever made. I literally through it away and dug out one of my 30 year old cookbooks to get the recipe. I tried her version with marshmallows, but the marshmallow creme is much better. There was too much cake and not nearly enough icing. The icing was delicious, but the cake was not sweet enough. I made it for my boyfriends birthday, and I am not lying when I say I threw it away after one bite. I didn't even let him try his piece. I'm sorry for all of you that have never had Mississippi mud cake and thought this was good. I wish you could try my version, it would blow you away!

This is the same exact recipe that my mother used 40 years ago when she made this each Sunday! Thanks Paula because I have not seen this in years and I have been looking for it since my mom passed away earlier this year. This will now be on the dessert table Christmas night!
