Coca Cola Cake

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup cola
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • Icing:
  • ½ cup butter
  • 6 Tbsp. cola
  • 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 lb. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9” x 13” pan. In a small saucepan, heat butter, cocoa powder and cola on medium, just until butter melts and mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat, and in a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Pour cola mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a wire whisk. Finally, add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and marshmallows. Pour batter into pan and bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or just until the center is done and springs back when touched lightly with finger.
  2. For the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, cola and cocoa powder, heating until butter melts. Remove from burner and add powdered sugar, vanilla and nuts, stirring until all is well-blended.
  3. Pour over cake while icing and cake are still warm. Enjoy!
