For the Cake

1.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

2.

Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl.

3.

Melt margarine in a small pot over low heat. Add cocoa powder and water, whisking until blended, and bring to a boil. Add boiling cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add non-dairy creamer, vinegar, eggs, and vanilla and stir until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan and spread into an even layer.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Sprinkle two cups mini marshmallows over the warm cake.
