Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- Heat butter & Coca-Cola
- In a small saucepan, melt butter with Coca-Cola over low heat.
- Combine wet & dry
- Pour butter-Coke mixture into dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting
- Melt butter & cocoa
- In a saucepan, melt butter, add cocoa powder and Coca-Cola. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
- Add powdered sugar
- Stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Add nuts if desired.
- Frost cake
- Pour warm frosting over hot cake so it soaks in and creates a rich glaze.
Tips
- Use full-sugar Coca-Cola; it helps create a moist cake.
- Let cake cool slightly before frosting if you prefer a thicker layer.
- Top with chocolate chips or sprinkles for extra fun.
If you want, I can also give a mini cupcake version or a layered version with chocolate ganache for a fancier presentation.
