Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Coca-Cola
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 2 count Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the Coca-Cola and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the Coca-Cola mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the batter and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the mini marshmallows (they will float to the top; this is fine).

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool slightly while preparing the frosting.

Step 8

For the frosting, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the Coca-Cola and unsweetened cocoa powder, and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans, if using.

Step 10

Pour the warm frosting evenly over the cake. Spread it gently with a spatula to cover the entire surface.

Step 11

Allow the cake and frosting to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
