Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 c butter
1/2 c shortening or oil
3 Tbsp cocoa
1 c coca cola (the real thing!)
2 c sugar
2 c flour
1/2 c buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 - 1 1/2 c small marshmallows
TOPPING
1/2 c butter
3 Tbsp cocoa
6 Tbsp coke
1 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped nuts

Steps:

  • 1. MIX BY HAND! Sift flour and sugar together in large bowl.
  • 2. Combine butter, shortening or oil, coke, cocoa and heat until butter is melted. Pour over flour mixture and stir well.
  • 3. Add buttermilk, baking soda, beaten eggs, vanilla and marshmallows. Mix well and spoon into well greased 13x9 inch pan. Marshmallows will tend to gather together in one section - distribute throughout pan. Bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Spread topping on hot cake.
  • 4. TOPPING DIRECTIONS: About 5 minutes before cake is done, combine butter, coke and cocoa in a sauce pan and bring to boil. Stir in remaining ingredients and pour over hot cake while it is still hot in the pan. Topping will be thin, but it will thicken. Leave in pan until cooled.
