Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Carefully stir in the boiling water until well blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the miniature marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
