Description

Once you have Southern Coca Cola Cake, no other chocolate cake will do.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Coca Cola
  • ½ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • ½ cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • ½ cups Buttermilk Or Coconut Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 3 Tablespoons Coca Cola
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pound Confectioners Sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a sauté pan, add Coca-Cola, oil, butter and cocoa and heat over medium high heat until it boils. Cut off heat once it boils.

Add in marshmallows and whisk together until the marshmallows melt into the mixture and set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer, add sugar, flour and salt and mix on low. Slowly pour in hot cocoa mixture and continue mixing bringing speed up to medium speed.

Add in eggs, buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.

Spray a 9×13 sheet cake pan with nonstick baking spray. Pour the cake batter into the pan and spread out evenly.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While cake has about 10 minutes left of baking, prepare the frosting. Add butter, cocoa powder, milk, Coca-Cola, vanilla extract and confectioners sugar into a pot over medium high heat and whisk together until boiling and well mixed.

Once cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the hot frosting on the top of the cake and let cool. Slice and serve.

We really enjoyed this cake (with vanilla ice cream :) ). I used your recipe as a first baking lesson for my son, who is studying Culinary Arts in high school this year. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was the boiled icing – not sure if it was the cooking time or the cook, but it was a bit more granular than I expected.
