"My grandmother used to make this cake YEARS ago, and I was soooo thrilled to find it on this website. There are many different versions but this one is the one she used, as it calls for marshmallows. It is soooo moist and the icing is like fudge so the kids love it as much as the adults. I buy the square cake pans with the plastic lids and cut the recipe in half when I only need part and I freeze the other half. It freezes beautifully. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do."
