Chocolate Coca Cola Cake

Is there anything better than chocolate and coca cola? Probably this chocolate coca cola cake! It is super moist, super chocolately, and super yummy! I found this recipe on pinterest and I just had to try it because it looked so good! You can find the original recipe here at Confessions of a Chocoholic. I think I like chocolate just as much as this chocoholic so I will be checking out more of the recipes there!


First, I mixed my dry ingredients together. I added 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.




Then I put the other ingredients in a saucepan. I added 1 cup butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup coca cola, and 1/2 cup buttermilk.










 Heat in the saucepan until it boils. Then add it to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla. Put in in a greased 9X13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Be sure not to overbake it!





The cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.






Now for the frosting! Every cake needs a good frosting! In another saucepan, boil 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup coca cola. 




Remove from heat and add about 4 cups powdered sugar and mix until smooth.




Frost your cake!




Enjoy!




This cake tastes a lot like the Texas sheet cake recipe that I have. The only difference is that this cake calls for coca cola. Both are delicious!
