The One the Only the Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake

               

           This cake is without a doubt one of my favorites. There is nothing quite like this southern classic! It is definitely not fat free but the calories are so worth it I have tried a few recipes but this one seems to work the best. So here it is:

 start by preheating your oven to 350, use a greased pan it should be about a 9×13 in(or so) pan.

mix:
2cups flour
2cups sugar
1/2tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
1/2tsp cinnamon(optional)

in a saucepan over medium high heat stir this well until it boils:
1 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup coca-cola (from bottle is my preference!)
1/2 cup buttermilk

now take off heat and add that to the flour mix & whisk until combined.

Then add:
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla extract

mix, put the batter in the pan, bake it for about 30 minutes.

when the cake is nearly done make the glaze by mixing in saucepan:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup coca cola

that will begin to boils, remove and  stir in 4cups of confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Then add in 1 cup of chopped pecans, and stir.

once cake is done and out of oven (toothpick should come out clean), pour this warm glaze  over the top of the hot cake! 

Feel free to place coca-cola gummies on top of the cake! (optional)

wait.

let it set, let it cool for 20 or so minutes
