Chocolate Cake

I've been making this cake a lot lately when I am taking a meal.  It is a super moist cake that has been very popular.  Instead of using a 9X13 pan, I have been using two square pans so I have an extra cake to take to someone!

1 1/3 c cola, divided
16 oz box confectioner’s sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease 13x9 pan.  In med bowl, combine flour, 4 T cocoa, and baking soda; set aside.
  2. Beat 1 c butter and sugar until creamy.  Beat in eggs and 1 t vanilla.  In small bowl, combine  buttermilk and 1 c cola.  Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with the cola mixture blending well. Turn batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake 35 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.  While cake is baking, make the icing:  Combine remaining 5 T cocoa, ½ c butter, 1 t vanilla and 1/3 c cola with confectioner’s sugar.  Beat until smooth.
