Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, plus more for the pan
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup cola soft drink, such as Coca-Cola
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons cola soft drink, such as Coca-Cola
- One 16-ounce package confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the cola cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch pan.
- Sift flour and granulated sugar in a bowl. Heat butter, cocoa powder and cola to a boiling point in a small pan. Pour over flour/sugar mixture. Add buttermilk, baking soda, eggs, vanilla and marshmallows (the batter will be thin and the marshmallows will float to the top). Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until cake is cooked, 30 to 35 minutes.
- For the chocolate cola icing: Combine butter, cocoa, cola, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla in a pan and heat until it comes to a boil.
- Poke holes in the cake while it’s still hot and pour the icing over the cake. Cut into squares and serve warm from the cake pan.

Reviews
I just made a 1/2 batch of this and made it in to 12 muffins.
Absolutely delicious.
The original recipe has far too much sugar for my taste so I used monk fruit sweetener and coke “no sugar” for the cake mix.
Also a high starch gluten free flour blend. My family absolutely loved them.
5 stars because it was amazing. Even with my substitutions.
2 Cups of sugar AND 1 cup of cola??? Wow! That’s a lot of sugar for only 2 cups of flour.
A disappointment. Putting boiling frosting on a hot cake makes the frosting totally disappear into the cake. It is a gloopy mess. I sampled a spoonful and it is way too sweet
If you follow the recipe it’s great but when it comes to the frosting part she doesn’t explain very well what to do because once you boil all that and then pour it all over the cake it’s a soupy mess it doesn’t turn out like frosting at all she says to boil it and then poke holes in the cake and dump it right on the cake and it’s all liquidy it doesn’t look at all like the picture very disappointed
WOW! So quick. So easy. I don’t even have to get my mixer out. And the best part… my 9 year old granddaughter said it’s the best cake she’s ever had in her life! I love this recipe!!
Yay Faith! Thanks for sharing Tim’s favorite cake! Sure can see why! Yum!
Right on the front end going to 1 cup sugar instead of two. Before I even make it. I am sure the rest will be fine. In the video, Faith seemed to “spank” more than 2eggs. So what happened in the video does not perfectly match the recipe.
Easy! Flavor is great. I used too many marshmallows…..don’t do that….it becomes too moist. I need to make this again and again….:)
This was easy, and is really yummy. It is VERY sweet. You could almost cut pieces as small as fudge.
People – Why so many questions? Just follow the recipe as it is written. What is the problem. If you change it you are not making the recipe, you are making something different.
