Variations and Substitutions:
One of the beauties of Mississippi Mud Cake is its flexibility. Here are some variations and substitutions to tailor this cake to your liking:
Nut Variations:
Swap pecans for walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts for a different flavor and texture.

Marshmallow Alternatives:
If you prefer, use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows. Spread it over the hot cake for a similar effect.
Chocolate Chips:
