3 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp baking soda
2 scant tsp salt
1 c oil
1 c water
1 c coconut or almond milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups boiling water

Topping
1 7 oz (200g) bag mini marshmallow
3/4 c coconut or almond milk
9 oz (255g) chocolate chips
caramel sauce for drizzling
1 1/2 c chopped peanuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 2 bundt pans with cooking spray.
Mix all dry cake ingredients. Add remaining cake ingredients and beat well. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until cakes are set.
(if you prefer use 2 chocolate cake mixes prepared according to package instructions)

Remove from oven and place marshmallows over the top of the cakes. Turn off oven. Place cake back in oven for 5 minutes or until marshmallows have slightly melted and begun to slightly toast. Remove from oven and cool completely.

To make fudge sauce, heat milk until it steams then remove from heat. Mix in chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Drizzle caramel sauce over marshmallows and then pour fudge sauce on top. Immediately sprinkle chopped nuts over the cakes. Allow to set.
