Frosting:

1 2/3 cup confection sugar

1/2 cup margarine

1/3 cup cocoa

1/3 cup non-dairy creamer

• Blend all ingredients together till smooth and spread on cooled cake.

Tips: This a really easy, moist and chewy cake. After baking for 20 minutes it should still be a little raw so the extra 3 minutes can melt the marshmallows and finish baking the cake. When spreading the marshmallows the whole cake does not have to be covered as they will melt together.
