Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
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.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake the cake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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.
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.
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.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
