Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup butter
- ¼ cup cocoa
- 1 cup Coca Cola I used Coke Zero
- ½ cup buttermilk.
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Icing Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup cocoa
- ½ cup Coca Cola
- 3-4 cups confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. Mix first 5 ingredients (dry) together and sift well. Set aside. In a medium boiler, add butter, cocoa, coca cola and buttermilk. Heat until butter is melted and mixture just starts to bubble. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add to dry mixture and mix well.
- Lightly beat 2 eggs and add to cake mixture as well as vanilla. Mix well and pour in prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until knife or toothpick comes out clean. Do not cook more than 35 minutes though because you want cake to be moist. Allow cake to completely cool before icing.
- In a medium boiler, add butter, cocoa and coca cola. Heat on medium heat until butter melts and mixture starts to boil. Only boil for about 15-30 seconds and remove from heat. Add in confectioners sugar and mix well to get out any lumps and icing reaches desired consistency. Pour over cake and allow to set 1-2 hours.
