  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs at room temperature

Instructions

Coca-Cola cake:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and sprinkle with flour in a 9x13 pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add the butter, Coca-Cola, vegetable oil, and unsweetened cocoa, stir and bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, remove the mixture from heat and add it to the bowl with the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on low-medium speed for about one minute.
  5. After that, add the eggs and mix to combine, and add the buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla. Beat for another minute on medium speed, and make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spread it evenly, and level the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, not raw batter.
Coca-Cola frosting:
  1. To make the frosting, place a medium saucepan over medium heat, and add butter, cocoa powder, and Coca-Cola. Stir and bring the mixture to just to the boiling point.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the cake and spread it evenly.
  3. Allow the cake to cool after that slice and serve.
