Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 12 oz Coca Cola
  • 1 cup unsalted Challenge Butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz Coca Cola
  • 1/2 cup unsalted Challenge Butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 cups (460g) powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the cola, butter and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until it begins to boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the cola mixture to the flour mixture and whisk together just until combined.
  • In a measuring cup, add the buttermilk, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk together, then add to the flour and cola mixture. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. Add the coca cola to a saucepan and cook until reduced to 1/2 a cup.
  • Stir in the butter and cocoa powder and continue stirring until the butter is melted.
  • Remove the mixture from heat and add the powdered sugar. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
  • Pour icing over the hot cake and spread evenly. Do this quickly, since the icing sets quickly.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Store cake well covered or in an air tight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
