Cocoa Cola Cake!

This recipe for Cocoa Cola Cake tastes better than the one Cracker Barrel serves. Not kidding. I can't lie though, I didn't create this one, it's from my cookbook "Cake Mix Creations" by Taste of Home. Try it out, everyone who loves chocolate will LOVE this. Pecans can be replaced with chopped walnuts (I prefer walnuts in this cake.).



Cocoa Cola Cake

1 pkg white cake mix (18-1/4 oz)

1 cup regular coke

2 eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Fudge frosting:

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1/2 cup butter, cubed

1/3 cup regular coke

4 cups confectioner's sugar

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cola, eggs, buttermilk, butter, cocoa, and vanilla; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in marshmallows. Pour into a greased 13x9x2 in. baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, for frosting, in a small saucepan, combine cocoa & butter. Cook over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in coke until blended. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in pecans. Spread over cake. Let stand for 20 minutes before cutting.

12-15 Servings.. depending on how big you like your slices. Great with a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

Enjoy!
