I guess it was a Cola kind of day, I made our favorite recipe for marinating pork chops using Coca-Cola, and decided to try this recipe for cake using the rest of the Coca-Cola. I love this icing, think it'll be my 'go to' chocolate icing for a while.
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1 c. Cola
1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. miniature chocolate chips
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. buttermilk (I just put 1/2 tsp. lemon juice in 1/2 c. measuring cup and fill with 2% milk)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine flour and sugar, set aside. In a saucepan bring cocoa, Cola and butter to a boil (I did this in the microwave in large glass bowl, and it turned out fine). Combine the boiled mixture with flour mixture. In separate bowl combine eggs, buttermilk, baking powder and soda, and vanilla, add to first mixture. Stir in marshmallows. Pour into greased 9 x 13 and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
Icing:
1/2 c. butter
1 Tbsp. cocoa
1/3 c. Cola
4 c. icing sugar
In saucepan bring butter, cocoa and Cola to a boil (once again I just mic'd it). Stir in sugar and mix well, I found a whisk worked best for this step). Pour over warm cake, allow to cool and enjoy:)
I often down size this recipe for our smaller family, and I get to share the rest of the Cola with the kids :)
Cola Marinated Pork Chops
1 can Cola (1 1/2 c.)
1/4 c. soy sauce
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. ginger
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 pork chops
Combine first 7 ingredients to make marinade. Marinade pork chops 8 hours or overnight in refrigerator. BBQ 5-6 minutes per side over medium heat. (You can also set aside 1/2 cup of marinade before combining with pork chops and use it as a baste while grilling the chops)
