Southern Coca-Cola Cake
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 sticks margarine
2 tbsp. baking cocoa
1 cup Coca-Cola
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups mini-marshmallows
Recipe
Combine flour and sugar. Bring margarine, cola, and cocoa to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over flour mixture. In a bowl, beat eggs; add marshmallows, buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and mix well.
Now eat a handful of left-over marshmallows. [And don't argue with me. There's a process here!]
Line the inside of two round cake pans with wax paper [or it WILL stick] and spray generously with cooking spray. Pour equal amounts of batter into the pans and bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes. Do not overcook! A toothpick test does not work on this cake! It's meant to be very moist! If it isn't jiggling in the center, it's most likely done.
Now, go frost it!
Coca-Cola Icing
1 stick margarine
1/4 cup Coca-Cola
3 tbsp. baking cocoa
2 heaping cups powdered sugar
1 cup chopped nuts [optional]
Boil margarine, cocoa, and cola. Pour over powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar or more cola. I always add extra powdered sugar. This makes the icing set up like a fudge. You can either add the nuts or sprinkle them on top while the icing is still wet.
Assembly: Turn one cake onto a serving platter while it's still hot and add a layer of marshmallows over the top. Pour warm icing over this and spread as evenly as you can. Let the marshmallows melt and then let it cool! Add the second cooled cake layer and spread remaining icing over the top.
