Coca Cola Cake

They recently featured this cake at Cracker Barrel and I fell in LOVE with it! My sister had the recipe from a magazine and shared it with me. I even used Dr. Pepper one day when I didn't have any Coke. It's light and fluffy and great with vanilla bean ice cream!

Ingredients for the Cake:
2 c. plain flour
2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter
3 tbsp. cocoa
1 c. Coca-Cola
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs, whole, beaten
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. mini marshmallows

Combine sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Heat butter, coca cola and cocoa to boiling and pour over flour and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly. Add buttermilk, eggs, soda, vanilla and marshmallows; mix well. This will be a thin batter with marshmallows floating on top. Bake in a greased and floured flat pan at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Ice while hot.

Icing Ingredients:
1 stick butter
3 tbsp. cocoa
6 tbsp. Coca-Cola
1 box powdered sugar
1 c. pecans (optional, I don't like them so I never use them!)
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine butter, Coca-Cola and heat to boiling. Pour over sugar. After beating, add pecans and vanilla. Spread over hot cake.
