Description
A rich and indulgent chocolate cake infused with the sweetness of Coca-Cola, creating a moist and tender treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for frosting)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it generously.
- Combine the Coca-Cola, vegetable oil, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture heats to just boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and set it aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the hot Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. If using mini marshmallows, fold them in gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the frosting by combining the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Once the cake has cooled adequately, pour the frosting over the top, spreading it evenly to cover the surface. Allow it to set before serving.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Use quality cocoa powder for a more intense flavor.
