Coca Cola Cake - The Cake

A Southern cake that uses Coca Cola in the cake and frosting. This is a favorite of my family's that I have been making for years.




Cake:

2 cups unsifted all purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup Coca-Cola
½ cup buttermilk
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt. In a saucepan, bring the butter and Cola to a boil and then add to the dry ingredients and mix with a mixer until well incorporated. Add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and marshmallows and continue mixing until thoroughly mixed together. This will be a very thin batter with the marshmallows floating on top. Bake in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray in a preheated 350° oven for 45 -60 minutes until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake.

Frosting:

½ cup unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons cocoa
6 Tablespoons Coca Cola
1 box or pound of confectioner's sugar
1 cup of chopped nuts, optional (I didn't use these)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Combine butter, cocoa and Cola in saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour over the confectioner's sugar and mix well. Add nuts and vanilla and continue mixing until blended together. Spread over cake while hot. Completely cool cake before serving.

Please note: The Original World of Coca Cola was opened in 1991 near Underground Atlanta. It was replaced and relocated in 2007 at the current location in Centennial Park.

Are The Marshmelows Nesessary.?

[lynnsrecipes]

@ivansaltarin1997 - You can leave them out and it will probably turn out fine.

@lynnsrecipes The Coca Cola Powder is very strong dominate flavor . 2 tablespoons would taste like cans . Thanks Lynn ! You helped me alot ! I added 1/2 a cup of Coca Cola to 4 tablespoons of the Coca Cola Powder and used a bit less of each ingredient ! I made a cupcake version of it though ! Thanks Lynn !

[lynnsrecipes]

@ChocolateHuyukee - Can't wait to hear how it turns out!

[ChocolateHuyukee]

@ChocolateHuyukee - Maybe if you used that in place of the coca cola, but only added the 1 cup since that would equal the amount of liquid provided by using the coca cola. I am not sure, but maybe that would work. I wouldn't add the whole 1-2/3 cups because that might make it to runny and it is already a runny batter. Hope it works - let me know.

@lynnsrecipes I got it From a special promotion that a Coca Cola fan Online shop was having ._. You use 1 and 2/3 cup to melt 3/4 cup of the powder then refrigerate it for 14 minutes whatever your putting it into . But im not sure which way i should use it for a cake
