  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Coca Cola
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Frosting:

  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • 6 tablespoons cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  • In a saucepan, combine Coca Cola, oil, butter, and cocoa. Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring the butter melts completely and the cocoa is fully dissolved.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
  • Pour the boiling Coca Cola mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Add eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla to the mixture and beat well until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.
  • For the frosting, combine butter, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and gradually beat in confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Spread the frosting over the cake while it’s still warm. Allow it to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra chocolatey experience, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter.
  • The cake pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
