Description
An offshoot of Mississippi Mud Pie, this rich, dense-dark chocolate cake features a topping of marshmallow, chocolate ganache, and pecans. Although the recipe's original provenance is somewhat murky — it seems to have sprung up simultaneously in various spots around the country in the mid-1970s — it's said that its name might reflect the cake's resemblance to the dense, dark banks of the Mississippi River.
