Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 0.5 cup butter (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup Coca-Cola (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 to incorporate.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the Coca-Cola and heat until just combined (do not boil).
Pour the warm Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the batter and stir to combine.
Fold in the mini marshmallows. The marshmallows will float to the top as the cake bakes, creating a delightful texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and Coca-Cola over low heat. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm glaze evenly over the hot cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
