🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can 12 oz Coca-Cola
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup Coca-Cola

For the Frosting

1 cup butter
1/4 cup Coca-Cola
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 can of Coca-Cola, vegetable oil, and eggs.
4Mix on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
5The batter should be thick and pourable.
Set aside.
6Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
7Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8The top of the cake should be firm to the touch and slightly golden brown.
9While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting.
10In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
11Add 1/4 cup of Coca-Cola and bring to a boil.
12Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly and reduced by about half.
13The mixture should be glossy and syrupy.
14Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
15In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
16Gradually add the cooled Coca-Cola mixture, whisking continuously until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
17If the frosting is too thick, add a little more Coca-Cola.
18If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
19The frosting should be smooth and glossy.
20Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
21Once cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
22Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
23The cake should be moist and flavorful, with a rich chocolate taste enhanced by the Coca-Cola.
24Serve and enjoy.
