Ingredients

• Cake:
• 2 cups (475 ml) flour
• 2 cups (475 ml) sugar
• 1 cup (225 ml) margarine
• 2 tbsp (30 ml). baking cocoa
• 1 cup (225 ml) Coca-Cola
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (225 ml) buttermilk
• 1 tsp (5 ml). baking soda
• 2 tsp (10 ml). vanilla
• Icing:
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) margarine
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) Coca-Cola
• 3 tbsp (45 ml). baking cocoa
• heaping 2 cups (475 ml) powdered sugar
• 1 cup (225 ml) chopped nuts (optional)

Preparation

• Cake:
• Combine flour and sugar.
• Bring margarine, cola, and cocoa to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over flour mixture.
• In a bowl, beat eggs, buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla.
• Combine both mixtures and mix well.
• Line the bottom of two round cake pans with wax paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Pour equal amounts of batter into the pans and bake at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 30-35 minutes.
• Do not overcook.
• It's meant to be moist, use the toothpick test to be sure. If it isn't jiggling in the center, it's most likely done.
• Icing:
• Boil margarine, cocoa, and cola.
• Pour over powdered sugar; mix until smooth.
• Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar or more cola. I always add extra powdered sugar. This makes the icing set up like a fudge.
• You can either add the nuts or sprinkle them on top while the icing is still wet.
• Assembly:
• Turn one cooled cake onto a serving platter.
• Spread icing evenly over cake.
• Add the second cooled cake layer and spread remaining icing over the top.
• Sprinkle with nuts in desired.
