Instructions
To make chocolate cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking dish, set aside
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. Add oil, eggs, vanilla, milk and sour cream and mix until combined. Reduce speed and carefully pour in the boiling water.
  4. Beat on high speed for 1 minute to add air to the batter.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove cake from oven and sprinkle marshmallows all over the top of the hot cake, completely covering it.
  7. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are just slightly puffed and melted.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and cool before drizzling frosting on top.
To make frosting:
  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add milk and cocoa powder and whisk well. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to make the frosting smooth.
  4. Drizzle warm frosting immediately over cake.
  5. Refrigerate cake for about 30 minutes or until frosting has set.
  6. Serve
