Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix with pudding
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Frosting

  • 1 container (1 lb) chocolate creamy ready-to-spread frosting
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat on high speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread batter evenly in pan. Sprinkle pecans evenly over top.
  • 3

    In small bowl, mix frosting and enough milk until smooth and spreading consistency. Drop frosting by spoonfuls onto cake; spread gently to cover, then lightly swirl to marble. Cool cake completely, about 1 hour.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use 2 cups miniature marshmallows in place of the marshmallow creme. Just sprinkle them evenly over the top of the cake. Return it to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes or until the marshmallows have puffed. Immediately frost the cake as directed in the recipe.
