Grease and flour a 139 cake pan.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup Coke, and oil to a boil.
Combine sugar and flour Add to saucepan and stir till well combine.
Remove from heat.
Add remaining cake ingredients. Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Frosting -Cream butter and 1/2 cup cocoa in a large bowl.
Add in 1/4 cup Coke, chocolate syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla.
Beat in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down the sides frequently.
If frosting is too dry, add a little Coke to thin.
Frost the cake while it is still warm.
Notes- Measure out all ingredients place all ingredients in separate bowls,and set aside. You will be adding ingredients quickly this doesnt take long to make, and you dont want to burn anything so have all the ingredients right there at the stove with you, except the stuff you add after you remove it from the heat.
I used the milk and lemon juice because I dont use or like butter milk. I thought my icing wasnt going to turn out it started out dry and nothing really creamed together till I added in the coke and chocolate syrup (I also measured out these ahead of time as well.)
At some point my handheld mixer was having trouble mixing as it got thicker and when i add the confectioner sugar but I kept it going and it turned out to be nice and creamy. I didnt let my cake cool but for 5 mins after coming out of the oven and it melted my icing some.
It does say ice it warm Not hot lol this was my fault I should have waited to ice it. Making the icing was messy out of all of it, my hand mixer was covered in cocoa dust lol
