DESSERTS FROM CHEF FREDDY'S

FOR THE CAKE

FOR THE FROSTING

>Hint< Make the frosting first, by simply creaming all of the ingredients together and setting aside...

1) Cream together the sugar and the shortening, and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition... Add the flour, cocoa, vanilla ansd salt, creming well then add the pecans if desired... 2) Bake in a well gerased and floured 9" x 13" cake pan, at 350ø for 30 min... remove and spread the marshmallow fluff evenly on the top, and return to the oven for 1 min or until fluff is spreadable... 3) Spread the frosting on top of the fluff and refrigererate until ready to eat...
