Dannon's Journal: Recipe: RC Cola Cake

Here's my first ever contribution for the Slashdot Cookbook, desserts section. It's pure sweet-tooth satisfaction! I'll be baking a batch for the Coffee House this weekend.

RC Cola Cake
2 cups flour
2 sticks margarine
1 cup RC Cola
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1.5 cups miniature marshmallows
.25 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
2 tbsp. cocoa
.5 cup buttermilk

Stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and cocoa. Heat margarine and cola to boiling point. (Don't let it boil!) Pour over dry mixture. Stir in milk, baking soda, eggs, and vanilla. Add marshmallows last. (This will be a thin batter, but don't worry.) Bake in 9x13 inch pan in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until cake is done. Pour icing over cake while cake is still hot.

Icing:
.5 cup margarine
2 tbsp. cocoa
6 tbsp. RC Cola
1 box confectioner's sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat the 1st three items to boiling. Pour this over sugar, mixing well. Add nuts and vanilla. Spread over hot cake. Cool and cut into slices.

non foodstamp cola option?

[gmhowell]

Is there an option for a cola that isn't ranked number one by foodstamp holders and denizens of West Virginia? Sorry, guess that's repetitive. You know, something real, like Coca Cola (blech) or Pepsi?

Haven't tried any other colas in the recipe. I'll let you know if I ever get adventurous with other options.

I'm a diet cherry coke person myself, but I'm not picky. My problem is buying a pint of buttermilk just for a half cup. I just don't have any other recipes that use buttermilk!

When making pancakes, I add 2 tbsp. of distilled vinegar to a pint of milk...it works well there as a buttermilk substitute. Add the vinegar to the milk while it's in the measuring cup, stir to mix, and let stand 5 minutes before use.

Them's fightin' words, the only way to make a proper bourbon and coke is to use RC for the coke. The only reason RC has a bad rep is that people didn't grow up with it, but they were trying to go national again a few years back, remember when it was the "Coke" on ER.
