Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup Milk (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 5

Bake the cake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cake from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the cake. Place the cake back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff up and begin to melt.

Step 7

While the marshmallows are melting, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle the frosting evenly over the melted marshmallows while the cake is still warm.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
