submitted by Bonkerz
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons cola-flavored carbonated beverage
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13
inch pan. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 cup butter,
3 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola. Bring to a rapid boil and remove from
heat.
2 In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and flour. Pour in the cola
mixture and blend with a mixer. In a medium bowl, dissolve the baking
soda in the buttermilk and add eggs, vanilla and sour cream. Mix well
and then stir into the batter. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes.
3 Pour batter into prepared 9x13 inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven
for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of
the cake comes out clean.
4 To make the Frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 butter, 6 tablespoons
cola, and 3 tablespoons cocoa. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When
smooth, remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar and nuts. Beat until
smooth, then pour over cake while both frosting and cake is still hot.
