- 1 cup COLA SODA
- 1/2 cup BUTTERMILK
- 1/2 cup UNSALTED BUTTER
- 1/2 cup VEGETABLE OIL

- 1 tsp BAKING SODA

Instructions
Step 1:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking pan with butter. This prevents the cake from sticking.
Step 2:
-
Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Add the marshmallows to this dry mix. Set the bowl aside for now.
Step 3:
-
Combine butter, oil, cocoa, and cola. Put them in a small saucepan. Bring the mix to a gentle boil.
Step 4:
-
Pour the hot liquid into the flour. Stir it until the marshmallows melt. The batter will look very dark.
Step 5:
-
Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and baking soda. Add the vanilla and salt too. Pour this into the main batter.
Step 6:
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about thirty-five minutes. A toothpick should come out clean.
Step 7:
-
Make the frosting while the cake bakes. Melt butter, cocoa, and milk together. Stir in the powdered sugar.
Step 8:
-
Pour the warm frosting over the hot cake. Spread it evenly to the edges. Let it cool before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat buttermilk for the best texture.
Do not overmix the batter at the end.
Sift your cocoa powder to avoid dark lumps.
Apply the frosting while the cake is warm.
Use regular cola for the best chemical reaction.
Check the cake five minutes before it finishes.
