Place all ingredients, except marshmallows, in mixing bowl. Blend at lowest speed, then beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Spread batter in one or two 9-inch round, 8×8 or 10×6 inch baking dishes.*
Microwave at 50% (Medium) 6 minutes. Rotate 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. Increase power to High. Microwave 2 to 5 minutes, or until done. Let stand directly on countertop 5 to 10 minutes.
To frost: place marshmallows, cut side down and close together, on cake after it has stood 3 to 4 minutes. Cool cake and frost with chocolate frosting. Cut between marshmallows. Cake slices more easily if allowed to stand several hours after frosting
