How to make Coca-Cola Sheet Cake
INGREDIENTS
CAKE:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules optional
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup cola not diet
– 1/3 cup buttermilk regular or low-fat
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FROSTING:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter diced
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/3 cup cola
– 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules optional
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– Chopped pecans or walnuts for topping
– Pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
– Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10×15 sheet cake pan with cooking spray (I like the kind with flour).
– Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and coffee granules in a large bowl. Set aside.
– Whisk oil, cola, buttermilk, and vanilla in a measuring cup. Stir wet ingredients into dry and stir until just blended and smooth.
– Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 15-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean 2” from the edge of the pan. The cake will somewhat spring back when touched.
– As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, make the frosting. Heat the butter, cocoa, cola, and coffee granules in a small saucepan until it boils and the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Pour evenly and carefully over cake, spreading as needed.
– Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
– Cool completely before serving. Store loosely covered on counter or in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
