   2      c             Flour
   2      c             Sugar
   1 1/2  c             Miniature marshmallows
     1/2  c             Shortening
     1/2  c             Butter
   3      tb            Cocoa
   1      ts            Baking soda
   2                    Eggs -- beaten
     1/2  c             Buttermilk
   1      c             Cola -- Coke or Pepsi
                        Frosting:
     1/2  c             Butter
   6      tb            Cola
   3      tb            Cocoa
  16      oz            Powdered sugar
   1      c             Pecans -- chopped

Sift together flour and sugar. Stir in marshmallows. Set aside. In a
saucepan, combine shortening, butter, cocoa, and cola. Bring to a
boil. Heat just until shortening and butter melt. Remove from heat
and pour over flour mixture. Stir in buttermilk, soda, and eggs. Pour
into a greased tube pan and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until
done. Remove from oven and cool in pan. Frost.

Frosting:

Combine butter, cocoa, and cola in saucepan. Bring to a boil. When
butter is melted, remove from heat and add sugar and nuts. Spread on
cake.

Notes:

Do not reheat the mixture.

The frosting comes out really runny. I just dump it on the cake and
fill up the center hole and when it cools it is delicious.

I bake it in a Bundt pan.
