Mississippi Mud Cake

Drescription

Fudgy, gooey and beloved all over the South, Mississippi mud cake is a crowd-pleasing chocolate dessert that wins hearts wherever it goes.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (10 ounces) miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup butter, softened
5 tablespoons baking cocoa
4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons whole milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine butter and cocoa. Beat in sugar on medium speed until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to bowl until just combined. Transfer batter to a greased 13x9-in baking dish.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over cake. Return pan to the oven; let sit 2-3 minutes (with oven off) until marshmallows have melted. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat softened butter and cocoa over medium-high speed until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Slowly add confectioners' sugar, beating over medium-low speed. Beat in milk; whisk until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Spread frosting carefully over marshmallow layer. Slice and serve.

Egg Drop Soup with Instant Noodles Spinach & Scallions

Whisking a beaten egg into simmering broth is a quick and easy way to add creaminess and protein to noodle soup mix. Add freshness with a handful of baby spinach at the end. This recipe can easily be doubled to serve 2 and use the whole package of noodles. To cut back on sodium, look for noodle varieties with less than 600 mg sodium per serving or use less of the seasoning packet.

Broccoli Melts

These broccoli-cheese melts combine crisp-tender broccoli with a layer of melted cheese inside two crispy pieces of bread for a sandwich that’s rich and creamy. These 20-minute cheese melts are the ultimate comfort food—satisfying and packed with that cheesy goodness everyone loves. We crisp up these sandwiches on the stovetop, but if you have a sandwich press, you can use that instead.
