Ingredients

Serves 12

6 ounce unsweetened chocolate, divided
11/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened, divided
11/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sour cream
1 jar (7-ounce) marshmallow cream (about 2 cups)
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup miniature marshmallows, divided
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, divided
1/2 cup hot fudge ice-cream topping, heated slightly, divided

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Chop 4 oz. chocolate. Place the chopped chocolate, 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, 1–2 minutes.
2
Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs, flour and baking soda. Add the sour cream. Mix well. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean, 35–40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
3
Melt the remaining chocolate. Place the melted chocolate and the remaining butter in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on medium speed until creamy, about 45 seconds. Add the marshmallow cream and beat 1 minute. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar. Spread 1/2 cup frosting on 1 cake layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup marshmallows and 1/4 cup walnuts. Drizzle with 1/4 cup hot fudge topping. Top with the remaining cake layer.
4
Frost with remaining frosting. Sprinkle the remaining marshmallows and walnuts over the cake. Drizzle the top and side with the remaining hot fudge topping. Serve.
