2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup cola, beverage
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

1
Cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
Spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
4
Combine flour, granulated sugar and baking soda in mixing bowl.
5
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola beverage to boiling. (whisk together as it melts).
6
Pour over the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. I just use a whisk for this because it comes together so easily.
7
Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
8
Pour into prepared 9x13 pan.
9
Bake for 40 minutes.
10
During last 10 minutes of baking prepare frosting.
11
Prepare Second Frosting:
12
Place 5 cups confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
13
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 9 tablespoons cola beverage. Whisk together. Heat to boiling.
14
Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
15
Pour over 4 cups confectioners' sugar.
16
Mix well with a whisk.
17
Assembly:
18
Remove cake from oven.
19
Immediately frost with marshmallow cream. Go slow. This will prevent tearing the cake. As the fluff warms a bit it will spread easily.
20
Slowly pour warm coco-cola frosting over marshmallow fluff.
21
It's best to let this cake cool for about an hour before cutting into it.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
