Coca Cola Cake Recipe

Instructions

For the Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a sauté pan, add Coca Cola, oil, butter, and cocoa, and heat over medium-high heat until it boils. Cut off heat once it boils.
2. Add in marshmallows and whisk together until the marshmallows melt into the mixture and set aside.
3. In the bowl of your mixer, add sugar, flour, and salt, and mix on low. Slowly pour in hot cocoa mixture and continue mixing, bringing speed up to medium speed.
4. Add in eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
5. Spray a 9×13 sheet cake pan with non-stick baking spray. Pour the cake batter into the pan and spread out evenly.
6. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Frosting

1. When the cake has about 10 minutes left of baking, add butter, cocoa powder, milk, Coca Cola, vanilla extract, and confectioner’s sugar into a pot over medium-high heat and whisk together until boiling and well mixed.
2. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the hot frosting on top of the cake and let cool. Then slice and serve.

Notes

How to Store

Room Temp: You can store Coke cake leftovers for up to 3 days at room temp.

Fridge: Make sure it’s cooled to room temp, wrap with plastic wrap tightly then pop in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Make sure it’s all the way cooled down then wrap individual slices (my preferred way to freeze) in plastic wrap and then an extra layer of foil for more protection. It’s easier to thaw the amount you need this way. Don’t forget to add the date. It should last up to 3 months.
