The Chocolate Cola cake



Preheat oven to 350, and grease up  a 9×13 (or so) pan.

Mix:
2cups flour
2cups sugar
1/2tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
 1/2tsp cinnamon

In a saucepan over medium high heat stir this up good until it boils:
1 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup coca-cola
 1/2 cup buttermilk

Take off heat and add that to the flour mix & whisk until combined.
Then add:
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla extract

Mix, put in pan, bake it for about 30 minutes. Yes, it’s a quick bake. Don’t over-bake it!
when cake is nearly done make the glaze by mixing in saucepan:

1/2cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup coca cola

Once that boils, remove and slowly stir in 4cups of confectioners’ sugar until nice and smooth. Then add in about a cup of chopped pecans, and give it a stir.
once cake is done and out of oven (toothpick should come out clean), pour this warm glaze right over the top of the hot cake!

Let it cool for a few minutes at least…
