Hot cocoa cake with peppermint-marshmallow frosting from Food52

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    used one layer of Ina Garten's Beatty's Chocolate Cake, and this frosting. skipped the ganache since only serving for two people, and will then have leftovers. The marshmallow frosting held up well on our countertop (it is winter). RE: ganache I'd like to try this if I'm serving the entire cake all at once.

    I served this cake for Christmas dessert, making the cake one day in advance, then the topping right before serving. It comes together very quickly, and the warm chocolate ganache is what makes it special. Be sparing with the peppermint extract. I added only a quarter teaspoon, and it was very strong, but fortunately the ganache helped tame it.
