Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Coca-Cola
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Coca-Cola (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for frosting)
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of Coca-Cola and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the hot Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the batter and stir until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the mini marshmallows (they will float to the top during baking).

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of Coca-Cola, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Remove the frosting mixture from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake is removed from the oven, pour the warm frosting evenly over the hot cake.

Step 11

Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
