MAKES 1 (9 × 13-INCH) CAKE
A Rocky Road Dump Cake trumps rocky road ice cream any day of the week. Of course, you can always serve this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 × 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, pudding mix, and milk until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle evenly with the chocolate chips, then sprinkle evenly with the marshmallows. Sprinkle the top evenly with the pecans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges of the cake begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
tip: Substitute regular-size marshmallows for the mini version by simply cutting the large marshmallows into fourths; measure 1½ cups of the cut marshmallows and proceed as the recipe directs.
