Recipe Information
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 butter
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 3.75 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 0.5 cup butter (for glaze)
- 0.5 cup Coca-Cola (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 1 cup of Coca-Cola and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat.
Pour the hot Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter and stir until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the mini marshmallows into the batter. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup of Coca-Cola and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth, followed by the vanilla extract.
Once the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, letting it soak into the top.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
