Air Date: 1/15/2007
15 to 18 servings
1 package (18.25 ounces) devil*s food cake mix
1 package (4-serving size) chocolate instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-3/4 cups cola, divided (see Option)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 package (16 ounces) confectioners* sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick
cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat the cake and pudding mixes, the eggs and oil at
low speed with an electric beater until blended. Gradually add 1-1/4
cups cola. Increase the beater speed to medium, and beat for 2 minutes;
pour the batter into the baking dish.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa, and remaining 1/2 cup
cola; cook over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring constantly.
Do not allow to boil. Remove from the heat; stir in the confectioners*
sugar and vanilla then the pecans.
Spread the warm frosting over the top of the warm cake; cool completely
on a wire rack.
OPTION: This cake would also be great made with cherry-flavored cola!
