Coca-Cola Cake

June 28th, 2008

An old, Southern dessert. I took the recipe from a church cookbook given to me by my late grandmother. Loving Rachael Ray though I do, church cookbooks are always some of the best.

Batter:

2 c sugar

2 c flour

1/2 c butter

1/2 c shortening (or butter)

3 tbs cocoa

1 c Coke

1/2 c buttermilk

1 tsp soda

2 eggs, well beaten

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 c mini marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour and sugar in large mixing bowl. In saucepan, mix butter, shortening, cocoa and Coke. Bring to a boil and pour over flour and sugar and stir. Add buttermilk, soda, eggs, vanilla and marshmallows and stir. Pour into greased 13×9 pan and bake for 30 minutes.

Frosting:

1/2 c butter

3 tbs cocoa

6 tbs (or more) Coke

1 lb. powdered sugar

In saucepan, mix butter, cocoa and Coke. Bring to a boil and stir in powdered sugar. Pour over cake while cake is still warm.

    I have the whole Coca Cola cookbook. I’ve never made a single thing in it… this makes me want to pull it out and find something to make.
