Chocolate Cola Cake

I found this on May Flaum's blog. This idea of Cocoa Cola being used in a cake intrigued  me so much I just had to try it. Every person I have served it to loves it. One of the best chocolate cake I have come across.

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 cup cocoa cola (from the bottle is the best)
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla
The Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup cocoa cola
4 cups of powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Grease a 9x13 inch pan with Crisco. 
3. Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, set aside in a bowl.
4. In a sauce pan over medium high heat, stir up the butter, baking cocoa, cocoa cola, and buttermilk until it boils. 
5. Take off heat and mix in the flour mixture. 
6. Then add the eggs and vanilla.
7. Pour in the cake pan and for 30 minutes.
8. Once the cake is nearly done, make the glaze by mixing in a sauce pan the butter, baking cocoa, and cocoa cola. Bring this to a boil.
9. Remove from heat and mix in the powdered sugar.
10. Add in a cup of chopped pecans in desired. 
11. Once the cake is done and out of the oven, pour this warm glaze right over the cake. Wait.
12. Let it cool for a few minutes.Enjoy warm or cold. So yummy. 

This cake is so rich and chocolaty. I just loved it. It was a quick and easy bake to. Nothing complex.
