Preparation

Step 1

1. In saucepan combine butter, cola and chocolate. Stir on low-med heat until combined and hot, but try not to boil. Add marshmallows and wait until they are almost dissolved.

2. While waiting for the marshmallows, combine in a separate mixing bowl, the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, soda, and baking powder.

3. In yet another mixing bowl mix together the melted shortening, oil eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.

4. Add the marshmallow mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk together until smooth, but don't mix to much.

5. Pour into a well greased 11 1/2x 16 1/2 sheet pan, or if you like thicker cake, then use a deeper pan.

6. Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes depending on the oven. Only bake until cake doesn't stick to the tooth pick. This is a huge key to the cake staying moist.

7. While the cake is baking, make the frosting. Combine in saucepan, butter, cocoa, chocolate, and cola until melted together. Add p. sugar and vanilla and stir until smooth.

8. When the cake comes out of the oven, let it rest 5 min and then pour the frosting over the top, spread and then let the cake cool.

Serve with vanilla Ice Cream.
