Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup cola (not diet)
- 0.5 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the cola, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Serve as-is or top with your favorite frosting!
