TEXAS Sheet Cake AKA: Cocoa Cola Double Fudge Cake


A YUMMY TEXAS TRADITION!

WARNING: If you make this for your guests, they will BEG you to make it again!

Ingredients for Cake:
1 cup Coca Cola
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 stick of butter (8 TBSP)
3 TBSP cocoa
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

In a saucepan bring Coca Cola, oil, butter, and cocoa to a boil. Mix the sugar, flour and salt together and then pour in the boiling mixture and beat well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla and beat well. Pour into a greased "sheet cake pan" (larger than a 9x13 if possible!) and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Icing Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter
3 TBSP cocoa
6 TBSP buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 lb. (16 oz) powdered sugar

In a saucepan combine the butter, cocoa, and milk and heat until the butter melts. Beat in the remaining ingredients and spread on the HOT cake. Cool completely and then serve!

Your guests will beg you to make it next time! I promise!
