Double Chocolate Coca Cola Cake

For the Chocolate Glaze:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup Coca Cola
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

• Chopped pecans or walnuts
• Chocolate shavings
• Sprinkles

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the Coca Cola and cocoa powder until smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then remove it from the heat.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the warm Coca Cola mixture into the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well-combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan while you prepare the glaze.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Glaze

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the Coca Cola and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth.
2. Remove the pan from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until a thick, glossy glaze forms. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. For a smoother glaze, sift the powdered sugar before adding it.
