How to Make Coke Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup Coca-Cola over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and carefully pour the melted mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the batter and stir until just combined. The batter will be thin.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  9. For the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup Coca-Cola.
  10. Heat to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  11. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  12. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
