  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups flour

2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup cola

1 cup salted butter

6 tablespoons baking cocoa

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 teaspoon vinegar added to 1/2 cup milk as substitute)

1/2 cup salted butter

3 tablespoons baking cocoa

6 tablespoons cola

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1-Let’s dive into creating this Coca Cola fudge cake, starting with the basics. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F and greasing a 9ร—13-inch pan to avoid any sticking issues. This simple step sets the stage for a smooth baking process and ensures your cake comes out perfectly.

2-In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda until they’re well mixed. Next, in a saucepan, combine the butter, baking cocoa, and cola, then bring it to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly. Once boiling, pour this hot mixture into your dry ingredients and stir everything together thoroughly.

3-Now, add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and eggs to the mix, stirring until fully combined for a rich batter.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4-While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Heat the butter, baking cocoa, cola, and vanilla extract in a saucepan until it boils, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth, then pour this warm frosting over the warm cake. Let it cool for around 10 minutes so the frosting hardens, giving you a glossy finish. The total preparation time is just 20 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of cooking, making it ideal for busy schedules.
