Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ of a tub (8oz) marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • about 4 digestive biscuits (or 2-3 sheets of graham crackers)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325/165°.
  2. Butter and lightly flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter until smooth.
  4. Add the sugars to the butter and beat until fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the egg and beat well.
  6. Then mix in the buttermilk and vanilla.
  7. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together.
  8. Slowly add the flour into the wet ingredients. Stir together with a spoon until well-blended but do not over mix.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove the cake from its pan. Use the back of a wooden spoon and poke a few holes gently in the top of the cake.
  12. Put the marshmallow fluff in a bowl and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  13. Remove the marshmallow fluff from the microwave and spread over the top of cake. Make sure you fill in the holes so the marshmallow drips into the center of the cake. Use the tip of the knife to encourage some of the fluff to drip tantalizingly down the side.
  14. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
  15. Use your hands to crush up the biscuits/graham crackers. Crush them into some small crumbs and larger cookie shards. Sprinkle/arrange the cookies over the top of the cake. It should look a little messy but indulgent and amazing.
