Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 15.5 oz box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 12 oz can Cola soda

For the Frosting

  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 6 Tablespoon Cola
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 13×9 pan. Set aside. In a large bowl, add boxed cake mix, 2 large eggs, and a whole can of cola. Stir mixture until combined.
  • Pour mixture into your prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside.

Frosting

  • Meanwhile, prepare your frosting by placing butter, cocoa powder, and cola in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat until it begins to bowl. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture over cake.
  • Allow frosting to cool on cake for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the frosting, spread it over the cake immediately. Waiting too long will make the frosting difficult to spread over the cake.  
  • You can sub other soda pops in this recipe for Coca-Cola. Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, or other cola brands will make an excellent substitute for Coca-Cola in this recipe.
  • For added crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the frosting in this recipe.
