Coca-cola Chocolate Snacking Cake
Recipe is easily doubled – and then baked in a 9″x13″ pan. Pepsi can be substituted for the Coke. Recipe adapted from Browneyedbaker.com
- 1 c flour
- 1 c sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Diamond kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 6 oz Coca Cola
- 1/2 c butter, cut into small cubes
- 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1/4 c buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8″x8″ baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a small saucepan, stir together the cola, butter and cocoa powder over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until moistened.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Add to the flour mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
The cake will keep well for 3-4 days, either at room temperature or refrigerated. It freezes beautifully.
We prefer the cake with just powdered sugar on top, but if you want a frosting – and want to use up the rest of the bottle of coke – here’s the one recommended
- 6 oz Coca Cola
- 1/4 c butter, cut into small cubes
- 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 c powdered sugar, sifted
In a small saucepan, bring the coke to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 c. Stir in the butter and cocoa powder until the butter is melted, then remove from the heat. Add the powdered sugar about 1 cup at a time, whisking until smooth. Pour immediately over the hot cake in an even layer. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
