Coca-Cola Cake

The first time I made this, I didn't think it would turn out very good because the batter was so very thin. Don't worry though, it's delicious!

Coca-Cola Cake

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter
2 T. cocoa
1 cup Coca-Cola
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teas. baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 T. vanilla
1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Icing

1/2 cup butter
3 T. cocoa
6 T. Coca-Cola
2 c. powdered sugar


Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease and flour a 9- by 13-inch sheet cake pan.

Sift flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, bring butter, cocoa, and cola to a boil over medium heat. Pour over flour mixture and stir. Add buttermilk, baking soda, eggs, vanilla, and marshmallows, and stir. (Batter will be thin and marshmallows will float to the top).

Bake cake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

About 5 minutes before the cake is done, make the icing by bringing all the ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook until it reaches the consistency of a thin glaze. Poke holes in the cake with a toothpick or wooden skewer (to let the icing sink into the cake), then spread the icing over the cake while both are hot. Set aside to cool; slice and serve.
