subheading: Cake:

2 cups sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup butter

½ cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup Coca-Cola

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

subheading: Frosting:

1 bag mini-marshmallows

½ cup butter

3 tablespoons cocoa

6 tbsp Coca-Cola

1 box (16 oz) confectioner's sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°

In a bowl, sift sugar and flour.

In saucepan, mix butter, oil, cocoa, and Coca-Cola. Bring to a boil and pour over dry ingredients, blend well.

Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk just before adding to batter, along with eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Pour into well-greased 9x13 inch pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and add enough marshmallows to cover cake in a single layer. Pour frosting over marshmallows and return to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the marshmallows are gooey.

For frosting: combine butter, cocoa, and Coca-Cola in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and pour over confectioner's sugar, blending well. Add vanilla extract, and pecans (if desired).

Don't make the frosting too early, it hardens as it cools.

For the initial bake you want the cake just barely cooked through, as you'll put it back in for a few minutes once the marshmallows and frosting are added.
