Coca Cola Cake
Coca Cola Cake Ingredients: 1 box (15.25 oz) Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix 1 small box (4 oz.) InstantChocolate Pudding Ingredients listed on back of cake mix box (eggs & oil - water not needed) 1 1/3 cups Coca Cola 1 stick margarine or unsalted butter 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa 4-6 tbsp. heavy cream or milk* (see notes below) 2 cups (packed) powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees Spray 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to package directions but instead of adding water, you will replace that amount with Coca-Cola. Add in dry instant pudding mix to the batter as well. Pour batter into baking dish and bake according to package directions (usually 35-39 minutes). Just before cake is ready to come out of the oven, start making frosting. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, start melting one stick of butter/margarine. Add in cocoa powder and heavy cream (or milk, if using) and stir. Then stir in confectioners sugar. Stir briskly with a whiskto get all the lumps out. Take mixture off heat and add in vanilla extract. Once cake comes out of oven, pour frosting over warm cake. Do your best to spread it out evenly. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cook's Notes: If you are using milk instead of heavy cream, you will probably only need about 3-4 tbsp. of it because milk is thinner than heavy cream. Just use your judgement on it. Start with less and add a little at a time to get the right consistency. Or, you can always add a bit more powdered sugar to the frosting to make it thicker if you like.
