Preparation

Step 1

Buttermilk, or sour milk (see variations) -- 1/2 cup

Eggs, beaten -- 2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift the flour, sugar and baking soda together into a large bowl.

Heat the butter, 1 cup of cola and cocoa powder in a small saucepan until smooth and just beginning to boil. Whisk into the flour mixture.

Whisk the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla together and stir into the flour mixture to form a smooth batter. Finally fold the marshmallows into the batter.

Pour into a greased 13x9-inch cake pan and bake for 30-40 minutes.

While cake is baking, add the remaining 6 tablespoons of cola, 4 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the pecans.

Variations

Sour milk can be made by adding 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let set for about 10 minutes before adding to recipes.
