The History Behind Mississippi Mud Cake

The origins of Mississippi Mud Cake trace back to the Southern United States, where rich and comforting desserts are a staple. While the exact history is debated, many believe it became popular in the mid-20th century when home bakers started experimenting with chocolate cakes and marshmallow toppings. Over time, variations of the recipe have emerged, but the core elements remain the same: a fudgy chocolate cake base, a layer of gooey marshmallows, and a decadent chocolate glaze.
