Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup Coca Cola
- 0.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Coca Cola and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour the warm Coca Cola mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until partially combined.
Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the batter, and stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt until smooth and spreadable.
Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the slightly cooled cake.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Place the frosted cake under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The frosting should bubble and caramelize slightly.
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely before slicing and serving.
