  >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...
