Instructions
Bake the Cake
- Bake the cake in a 9 x 13-inch pan according to package directions, BUT replace the water with an equal amount of Coca Cola.
- While the cake is still warm, prepare the Coca Cola Frosting.
Make the Coca Cola Frosting
- In a large saucepan, bring butter, cocoa powder, and Coca Cola to a boil, whisking regularly. Remove from heat and mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the pecans.
Ice the Cake
- Pour the hot icing over the warm cake. The icing will firm up and harden into a sweet shell over the cake as it cools.
Notes
- Check your package of chocolate cake mix to be sure that you're using the correct ingredients, since every brand differs slightly.
- Pour the Coca Cola frosting over a warm cake.
- Allow plenty of time for the cake to cool completely in the baking pan and for the icing to set before slicing and serving.
- I have not tested this recipe with Diet Coke, as the flavor will differ. If you give it a shot, please let us know!
- Swap out the Coke and use root beer instead.
- Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and maraschino cherries for real treat!
