Coca-Cola Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup butter or margarine softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1/3 cup Coca-Cola
- 6-8 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Combine Coca-Cola and buttermilk; set aside.
- Beat butter at low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar; beat until blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat at low speed until blended.
- Combine flour, cocoa, and soda. Add to butter mixture alternately with cola mixture; begin and end with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended.
- Stir in marshmallows. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13- x 9-inch pan. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes.
FROSTING
- Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar and vanilla. Yield: 2 1/4 cups
- Pour Coca-Cola Frosting over warm cake; garnish, if desired, with chopped pecans.
- Note: Don't make the frosting ahead--you need to pour it over the cake shortly after baking.
