How to Make Allegra S New Favorite Cocacola Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- 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.
- Slowly pour the boiling Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 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.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the frosting over the cooled cake and spread evenly.
- Let the frosting set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
