Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar until well combined.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter (or margarine), cocoa powder, and Coca-Cola.
  4. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a gentle boil. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
  5. Carefully pour the hot Coca-Cola mixture into the bowl with the flour and sugar. Stir vigorously until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
  6. Add the beaten eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and baking soda to the batter. Stir until everything is evenly blended.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake bakes, prepare the frosting: In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of margarine with 3 tablespoons of cocoa and 6 tablespoons of Coca-Cola over low heat.
  10. Bring the frosting mixture to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.
  11. Pour the hot liquid over 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
  12. Fold in the chopped pecans (if using) and the miniature marshmallows into the frosting.
  13. Immediately spread the warm frosting over the hot cake, allowing the marshmallows to melt slightly into the surface.
  14. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
