Ingredients
For the Cake:

1 cup Coca Cola
1/2 cup oil
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons cream or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter

In a medium saucepan, combine the Coca Cola, oil, butter, and cocoa powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
Pour the boiling Coca Cola mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until smooth and well combined.

 

2. Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.
3. Make the Frosting

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and cream or milk. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Gradually beat in the confectioner’s sugar until the frosting is smooth.
4. Frost the Cake

Spread the frosting over the cake while it is still warm for a glossy, velvety finish.
Allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
