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.
