Chocolate and marshmallow cake

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 package (10 ounces) miniature marshmallows
• glaze:
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons 2% milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, applesauce and vanilla. Stir in chocolate mixture. Gradually add dry ingredients; mix well.
2. Pour into a greased 13×9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-30 minutes.
3. Set aside 1/2 cup marshmallows for glaze. Sprinkle remaining marshmallows over cake. Return to oven until marshmallows are softened, about 2 minutes.
4. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, milk and butter. Bring to a boil; boil 1-1/2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips and reserved marshmallows until melted. Quickly drizzle over cake (glaze will harden as it cools).
