American · Dessert · 50 min total

A moist, rich chocolate cake made with cola for a unique depth of flavor and tender crumb.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup cola (not diet)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 6 tablespoons cola (for frosting)
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, oil, 3 tablespoons cocoa, and 1 cup cola. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over flour mixture; stir until well combined.
4. Beat in buttermilk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
6. For frosting: In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Stir in 3 tablespoons cocoa and 6 tablespoons cola. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread over cooled cake.

Tips

• Use a full-sugar cola like Coca-Cola for best flavor; diet cola may alter texture.
• Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Can be frozen without frosting for up to 1 month.
