directions
-
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine flour, granulated sugar and baking soda in mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola beverage to boiling. (whisk together as it melts).
- Pour over the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. I just use a whisk for this because it comes together so easily.
- Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
- Pour into prepared 9x13 pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- During last 10 minutes of baking prepare frosting.
-
Prepare Second Frosting:
- Place 5 cups confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 9 tablespoons cola beverage. Whisk together. Heat to boiling.
- Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Pour over 4 cups confectioners' sugar.
- Mix well with a whisk.
-
Assembly:
- Remove cake from oven.
- Immediately frost with marshmallow cream. Go slow. This will prevent tearing the cake. As the fluff warms a bit it will spread easily.
- Slowly pour warm coco-cola frosting over marshmallow fluff.
- It's best to let this cake cool for about an hour before cutting into it.

My ex husband's aunt gave me this recipe year's ago with one minor change that made it easier,I think.She would cover the top of the warm cake with mini marshmallows before pouring the frosting over it.They would melt a little and was easier than trying to spread the fluff on.I have had it both ways and to me are the same in taste.If it is too sweet for some I would just use less marshmallows as the 1st topping.

This is an awesome chocolate cake. Very, Very rich. I really thought that the full 7 ozs of marshmallow cream would be way too much, but it wasn't. We loved this. One thing I might point out is the recipe calls for 5 cups of confectioners' sugar but the direction indicate 4. I used 4 and that was plenty.
