Yard Farm Coca Cola Cake

You can get this at Cracker Barrel, but it’s better made from scratch! One of our personal favorites.

CAKE:

• 1 package devil’s food cake mix
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
• 1 cup cola (Pepsi or Coca-Cola, your choice)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or substitute by combining 1 tbsp. vinegar + milk to make 1 cup; let sit for a few seconds, then stir)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

COLA FROSTING:

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup cola
• 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix cake mix, cocoa powder, melted butter, cola, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla on low speed for 1 minute, then 2 minutes more at medium speed. Scrape sides as needed.
