Chocolate Coca Cola Cake | Easy Chocolate Cake | Bake with Me

This recipe is a decadent one that my grandmother used to make for us for special occasions. She often made this cake for our first weekend of the summer up at the lake house or for a birthday celebration. It is one of those recipes that brings back so many beautiful memories of watching my grandmother in the kitchen, whisking and chatting with me as I helped crack eggs or measure ingredients. This is a great recipe for a crowd and even better served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I hope you enjoy this one!

Coca-Cola Cake

1 1/4 cup flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup coca-cola

Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar (whisked or sifted)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup coca-cola
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Optional:
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x13 pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the cocoa powder, oil and coca-cola. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Let cool about 5 minutes. Mix the buttermilk mixture with the dry ingredients and after the cocoa mixture has cooled slightly mix in small amounts until all combined. Be careful to add small amounts at first to avoid scrambling your eggs. Make sure batter is mixed well and pour into prepared 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake cool while you make the frosting.

Put powdered sugar in large bowl. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in cocoa powder and coca-cola and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour cocoa mixture into powdered sugar, whisking to combine. Once thoroughly combined, pour warm frosting over warm cake. Add pecans and let cool. Best served with a scoop of ice cream with family and friends. Enjoy!
