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
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup Coca-Cola (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 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, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a saucepan, combine the butter and Coca-Cola. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming, but do not let it boil.
Pour the hot Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter and stir until smooth.
Fold in the mini marshmallows (note: they will float to the top during baking).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 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 saucepan, combine the butter, Coca-Cola, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the glaze mixture from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is out of the oven and slightly cooled, pour the glaze evenly over the top while the cake is still warm.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
