Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 2 eggs
- 112 cups mini marshmallows
Wet Ingredients and Leavening Agents:
- 12 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Frosting Ingredients:
- 12 cup butter
- 6 tablespoons Coca-Cola
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 175°C/350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking tin with light greasing.
- Combine butter, cocoa, and Coca-Cola in a saucepan, bringing to a rapid boil while stirring continuously.
- Melt marshmallows into the hot liquid mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Transfer hot mixture into a large mixing bowl containing flour and sugar, mixing thoroughly until well blended.
- Incorporate eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla extract, whisking until a uniform batter forms.
- Pour cake batter into prepared baking tin, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- During baking, prepare frosting by heating butter, Coca-Cola, and cocoa in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Blend powdered sugar and chopped pecans into the warm frosting mixture, stirring until glossy and smooth.
- Remove cake from oven and immediately pour warm frosting over the hot cake surface.
- Allow cake to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Swap marshmallows with vegetarian gelatin for a meat-free version that maintains the cake’s signature gooey texture.
- For a gluten-sensitive diet, use a reliable gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour to keep the cake’s rich chocolate flavor.
- Toast pecans before adding to frosting to enhance their nutty aroma and create a deeper, more complex taste profile.
- Reduce sugar content by using half the recommended amount and replacing with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-calorie dessert option.
