Recipe Ingredients:
Cola Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cola Frosting:
- ½ cup butter
- 6 tablespoons cola-flavored carbonated beverage
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
How To Make Cola Cake Recipe?
- Preheat the oven and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish.
- Mix the dry ingredients: Combine the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the wet ingredients: In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, cola, and cocoa powder to a boil over medium heat. Pour the hot mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Combine remaining cake ingredients: Stir in the marshmallows, buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the frosting while the cake bakes: In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, cola, and cocoa powder to a boil. Pour the mixture over the confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Finish the cake: Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately spread the warm frosting over the top.
Recipe Tips :
- Use real cola, not diet or sugar-free: The sugar in regular cola is essential for the cake’s texture and flavor, so don’t substitute it with sugar-free versions.
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar for smooth frosting: To avoid lumps in the frosting, sift the confectioners’ sugar before mixing it with the cola mixture.
- Pour frosting while the cake is hot: Spread the frosting immediately after the cake comes out of the oven. The heat helps the frosting seep into the cake, making it extra moist and flavorful.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and fluffy. Overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Toast the pecans for extra flavor: Lightly toast the chopped pecans before adding them to the frosting. This adds a richer, nutty flavor to the cake.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Cola Cake cool completely to room temperature. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Allow the Cola Cake to cool fully, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, move it to the refrigerator overnight before serving.
