  7. Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Prepare the icing by melting butter in a saucepan, then adding cocoa powder and milk, stirring until smooth.
  11. Whisk in the confectioners’ sugar to create the icing.
  12. Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the warm cake, and pour the warm icing over them.
  13. Let it cool slightly before serving.
