   >Hint<   Make the frosting first, by simply creaming all of the
   ingredients together and setting aside...
   1)      Cream together the sugar and the shortening, and add the eggs
   one at a time, beating well after each addition... Add the flour,
   cocoa, vanilla and salt, creaming well then add the pecans if
   desired... 2) Bake in a well greased and floured 9 x 13 cake pan,
   at 350ø for 30 min... remove and spread the marshmallow fluff evenly
   on the top, and return to the oven for 1 min or until fluff is
   spreadable... 3) Spread the frosting on top of the fluff and
   refrigerate until ready to eat...
