How to Make Coca Cola Cake With Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup Coca-Cola. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before frosting.
  9. While the cake cools slightly, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, and ½ cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  10. Gradually beat in ½ cup milk until smooth and creamy.
  11. Fold in ½ cup roasted peanuts (chopped).
  12. Frost the warm cake evenly with the peanut butter frosting.
  13. Place the frosted cake on the top rack of your oven, about 4 inches from the broiler.
  14. Broil for 15-30 seconds, watching carefully, until the frosting is lightly browned and bubbly. Be cautious to prevent burning.
  15. Let the cake cool completely before serving and enjoy!
