How to Make Allegra's New Favorite Cocacola Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup Coca-Cola, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Slowly pour the boiling Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup mini marshmallows. The batter will be lumpy; this is normal.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup Coca-Cola, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake and spread evenly.
  11. Let the frosting set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
