How to Make Chocolate Coca Cola Cake With Chocolate Coca Cola Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, Coca-Cola, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, Coca-Cola, and cocoa powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon of Coca-Cola at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Once the cake is baked, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the chocolate Coca-Cola icing.
