My Mother's Mississippi Mud Cake
By: Dreamgoddess

There are many recipes here for this, but my mom's seems to be just a bit different. I had to post for her. I have made this often but I must confess I do not eat it because I don't like coconut (good diet dish — for me at least — to bring to pot luck) — people who will eat coconut always rave about this.

Shelly, your mom's recipe is the same as my husband's grandmother's (and you are right - it is different than the other ones posted on this site). The only difference is that my grandma-in-law's has a teaspoon of baking powder in the cake batter. This is the yummiest cake that looks like you went through a lot more trouble than you really did! Some of the other versions don't have the coconut in it, so I bet you could get away with leaving it out, if you really don't like it. I am thinking I need to go buy a jar of marshmallow cream and make this again.
