  • 1 cup Coca-Cola
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Icing
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 3 tbsp cocoa
  • ½ cup Coca-Cola
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Cake
  1. Sift flour and sugar together in heat-proof mixing bowl. (Preferably glass)
  2. Heat butter, cocoa, cola to just boiling then pour this over the flour mixture. Mix well.
  3. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Continue to mix well then pour into 9 x 13 baking dish.
  4. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until tester returns clean.
  5. Cool 15 minutes before icing.
Icing
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring first three ingredients to a boil.
  2. Just when butter is melted, remove from heat and add sugar. Mix well.
    May use hand mixer or whisk.
  3. Spread on cake which has cooled for at least 15 minutes.

Note: This is called icing rather than frosting as icing is not as thick

and tends to be thinner.
