Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Once the butter has completely melted, stir in the Coca-Cola and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Let it come to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition until the frosting is smooth and thick.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract, whole milk, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the frosting reaches a silky consistency. Add a splash more milk if needed for your desired pouring consistency.
Step 5
While still warm, pour the frosting over your cooled chocolate Coca-Cola cake. Spread it evenly with a spatula, ensuring it adheres to the cake.
