2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup Coke (not diet)
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup Coke (not diet)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans - optional
Place flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine butter, cocoa powder, Coke and buttermilk in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over dry ingredients. Mix well, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix well and pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. While cake is baking, combine butter, cocoa powder and Coke for the glaze and heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Add pecans and mix well. Pour over hot cake. Let cool completely.
I sometimes will heat up the cake to serve and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. YUM!!

This ranks up there with the 7-Up Cake! I love these kind of baked goods because it reminds me of the 50s when I grew up and baking got so experimental!
ReplyDeleteI have tried baking cola chocolate before but wasn't perfect as I am expecting for a nice chocolate cake. Would love to try this recipe too.
