Coca Cola Cake

Preheat oven to 350, and grease up (I like Crisco) a 9×13 (or so) pan.

Mix together:

• 2cups flour
• 2cups sugar
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1tsp baking soda
• 1/2tsp cinnamon

In a saucepan over medium high heat stir this up good 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

Take off heat and add that to the flour mix & whisk until combined.  Then add:

• 2 eggs
• 1tsp vanilla extract

Mix, put in pan, bake it for about 30minutes. Yes, it’s a quick bake. Don’t over-bake it!

When cake is nearly done make the glaze by mixing in saucepan:

• 1/2cup butter
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup coca cola

Once that boils, remove and slowly stir in 4cups of confectioners’ sugar until nice and smooth. Then add in about a cup of chopped pecans, and give it a stir.

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

Wait.

Let it set… let it cool for a few minutes at least…

Enjoy warm or cold. (next day/etc. feel free to microwave for a few seconds to warm it up… so good)
