Preparation

Step 1

Cake: Combine Coca Cola and buttermilk; set aside. Beat butter at low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar; beat until blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat at low speed until blended. Combine flour, cocoa and soda. Add to the butter mixture alternately with cola mixture; begin and end with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended. Stir in marshmallows. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13" x 9" pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes. Pour Coca Cola Frosting over warm cake; garnish, if desired.

Frosting: Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar and vanilla.
