Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Cup Cola Soda
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1.5 Cups Mini Marshmallows
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking pan with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the cake from sticking to the bottom.
- Mix your flour and sugar in a large bowl. Add the marshmallows to this dry mixture now. Stir them gently so they are coated in flour.
- Place butter, oil, cocoa, and cola in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir it constantly so the chocolate does not burn.
- Pour the hot cola mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir it well until the marshmallows start to melt. The batter will look very dark and rich now.
- Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla together. Add this to the main batter and mix well. Ensure there are no large white streaks left.
- Pour the smooth batter into your prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly using your rubber spatula. Bake it for about 30 to 35 minutes total.
- Make the frosting while the cake bakes in the oven. Pour the warm frosting over the cake while it is hot. This allows the icing to soak in slightly.
Notes
- Use full-fat buttermilk for the best and richest cake texture.
- Do not use diet cola because the sugar is needed.
- Sift your cocoa powder to avoid any bitter brown lumps.
- Pour the frosting immediately after taking the cake out.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing into square pieces.
- Use room temperature eggs so they mix into batter easily.
