How to Make Cola Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of cola, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of mini marshmallows.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  9. **Frosting:** In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) of softened butter and 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  10. Gradually add 1 pound powdered sugar, beating until combined.
  11. Stir in ⅓ cup cola until desired consistency is reached.
  12. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  13. Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
