Double Fudge Coca-Cola Cake

By WaffleCrumbs

One of the keys to this recipe is frosting the cake while it is still warm, so the frosting melts into the cake a bit, making it moist and delicious.

Step 1

In a saucepan, mix Coca Cola, oil, butter and cocoa and bring to a boil. In another bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Pour the boiling Cola mixture over the flour mixture and beat well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, soda and vanilla and beat well. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 13 x 9 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees or 20 to 25 minutes.
