½ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup butter softened
1 and ¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs lightly beaten
2 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 and ½ cup mini-marshmallows

For the Frosting

½ cup butter
⅓ cup Coke
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
4 cups powdered sugar (aka confectioners) sifted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Directions for cake

Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray.
Combine Coca Cola, buttermilk, and vanilla; set aside.
1 cup Coca Cola soda, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, ½ cup buttermilk
Beat butter and sugar at low speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beat until blended.
1 cup butter, 1 and ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
Combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture alternately with Coke mixture beginning and ending with flour mixture.
2 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Stir in marshmallows. Pour into prepared pan.
1 and ½ cup mini-marshmallows
Bake 350℉ for 30 to 35 minutes. (While the cake is baking, make the frosting.) Remove the cake when done and allow it to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before pouring Chocolate Coca-Cola Frosting over cake.

Directions for Frosting

Bring the butter, Coke, and cocoa to a low boil and boil for 1 minute; stirring constantly.
½ cup butter, ⅓ cup Coke, 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Whisk in powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Pour over warm cake.
4 cups powdered sugar (aka confectioners), 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
We like it served warm but it's good cold too. Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
