  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 can (12 oz) cola

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan.

In a large bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. In a small saucepan, combine cola, butter and cocoa; bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.

In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, whisking constantly.

Transfer to prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

About 15 minutes before cake is done, prepare glaze. In a small saucepan, bring cola to a boil; cook 12-15 minutes or until liquid reduced to 1/2 c. Stir in butter and cocoa until butter is melted; remove from heat.

Add confectioners' sugar; stir until smooth. Pour immediately over hot cake.
