2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup cola, beverage
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
9 tablespoons cola, this should be the remaining cola left in a 12oz can
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions:
-Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
Combine flour, granulated sugar and baking soda in mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola beverage to boiling. (whisk together as it melts).
Pour over the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. I just use a whisk for this because it comes together so easily.
Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Pour into prepared 9×13 pan.
Bake for 40 minutes.
During last 10 minutes of baking prepare frosting.

-Prepare Second Frosting:
Place 5 cups confectioners’ sugar in a mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 9 tablespoons cola beverage. Whisk together. Heat to boiling.
Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour over 4 cups confectioners’ sugar.
Mix well with a whisk.
Assembly:.
Remove cake from oven.
Immediately frost with marshmallow cream. Go slow. This will prevent tearing the cake. As the fluff warms a bit it will spread easily.
Slowly pour warm coco-cola frosting over marshmallow fluff.
It’s best to let this cake cool for about an hour before cutting into it.
