  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 sticks of softened butter, 2 cups of sugar, and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

  5. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven. While the cake is still hot, spread 3/4 of a jar of marshmallow creme evenly over the top.
  9. For the frosting: In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter. Remove from heat.
