Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan

3. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.

4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in cocoa powder, then add Coca-Cola, and stirring occasionally, bring just to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well. Set saucepan aside to use again for icing preparation.

5. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly to combine and stir into flour mixture until well blended.

6. Fold in pecans and mini marshmallows.

7. Pour into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until cake pulls away slightly from the pan and a toothpick inserted near the center (but not into a marshmallow!) comes out clean.

8. Prick hot cake all over with a fork or toothpick and pour Coca-Cola icing on top.

Icing Directions:

1. While cake is baking, sift powdered sugar into a large bowl. Set aside.

2. In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, then add Coca-Cola. Stirring occasionally, bring just to a boil.

3. Remove from heat and gradually stir into powdered sugar, whisking well until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract, and fold in pecans.
