COCA-COLA CAKE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter a 13" by 9" pan. Set aside.

Cake:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup butter, cubed
• 1 (12 oz.) can of Coca-Cola
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Frosting/Glaze:

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened Cocoa
• 1/2 cup pecans, optional
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1 (12 oz.) can Coca-Cola

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a small saucepan add cola, butter and cocoa, over medium-heat, bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just moist.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, whisking until well blended.
3. Pour into prepared buttered pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
4. About 15 minutes before cake has completed baking, prepare frosting/glaze. In a small saucepan, over medium-heat, bring can of Cola to a boil. Reduce cola liquid to 1/2 cup; this will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk in butter and unsweetened cocoa. Remove from heat.
5. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in pecans (optional) at this time. Pour over warm cake. Cool about 1 hour before serving.
