- 2 cups (475 ml) sugar
- 1 cup (225 ml) margarine
- 2 tbsp (30 ml). baking cocoa
- 1 cup (225 ml) Coca-Cola
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (225 ml) buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5 ml). baking soda
- 2 tsp (10 ml). vanilla
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) margarine
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) Coca-Cola
- 3 tbsp (45 ml). baking cocoa
- heaping 2 cups (475 ml) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (225 ml) chopped nuts (optional)
- Combine flour and sugar.
- Bring margarine, cola, and cocoa to a boil in a saucepan.
- Pour over flour mixture.
- In a bowl, beat eggs, buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla.
- Combine both mixtures and mix well.
- Line the bottom of two round cake pans with wax paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
- Pour equal amounts of batter into the pans and bake at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 30-35 minutes.
- Do not overcook.
- It's meant to be moist, use the toothpick test to be sure.
- If it isn't jiggling in the center, it's most likely done.
- Boil margarine, cocoa, and cola.
- Pour over powdered sugar; mix until smooth.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar or more cola.
- I always add extra powdered sugar.
- This makes the icing set up like a fudge.
- You can either add the nuts or sprinkle them on top while the icing is still wet.
- Turn one cooled cake onto a serving platter.
- Spread icing evenly over cake.
- Add the second cooled cake layer and spread remaining icing over the top.
- Sprinkle with nuts in desired.
