This Coca-Cola Cake is a rich and delicious sheet pan chocolate cake.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick baking spray. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

2

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat combine a can of Coca-Cola with cocoa powder, butter, and salt. Let the butter melt completely, then bring to a boil and remove from heat. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

3

After the Coca-Cola mixture has cooled, pour it into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix well using a whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

5

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a separate saucepan, add the Coca-Cola. Simmer over medium heat until it is reduced to half.

6

Add the butter, salt, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Set over medium heat, whisking continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

7

Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking in between each addition until the sugar is fully dissolved.

8

Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then pour the frosting over the warm cake.

9

Let the cake cool completely and allow the frosting to set before serving.
