    • \u00bd cup unsweetened cocoa powder<\/strong><\/li>\n

    • \u00bd cup Coca-Cola<\/strong> (regular, not diet)<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd cup milk<\/strong> or buttermilk<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 2 large eggs<\/strong>, room temperature<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u00a0For the Chocolate Glaze (Double Chocolate Part):<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \u00bc cup unsalted butter<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 4 tablespoons Coca-Cola<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 2 cups powdered sugar (icing sugar)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

        1 Prepare the Oven and Pan<\/h3>\n

        Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C \/ 350\u00b0F<\/strong>.
        \nGrease a 9\u00d713 inch baking pan<\/strong> or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.<\/p>\n

        2 Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Flour<\/li>\n
        • Granulated sugar<\/li>\n
        • Cocoa powder<\/li>\n
        • Baking powder<\/li>\n
        • Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Mix well to evenly distribute the cocoa and leavening.<\/p>\n

          3 Heat the Wet Ingredients<\/h3>\n

          In a saucepan over medium heat<\/strong>, add:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Melted butter<\/li>\n
          • Coca-Cola<\/li>\n
          • Milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Heat gently until warm (do not boil), stirring to combine. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n

            Heating the liquids helps bloom the cocoa, giving the cake deeper chocolate flavor.<\/em><\/p>\n

            4 Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n

            Slowly pour the warm liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.
            \nWhisk until smooth and lump-free.<\/p>\n

            Add:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Eggs<\/li>\n
            • Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin \u2014 this is normal and what makes the cake so moist.<\/p>\n

              5 Bake the Cake<\/h3>\n

              Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
              \nBake for 35\u201340 minutes<\/strong>, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.<\/p>\n

              Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0Chocolate Coca-Cola Glaze<\/h2>\n

              6 Make the Glaze<\/h3>\n

              While the cake is baking (or immediately after):<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.<\/li>\n
              2. Add cocoa powder and Coca-Cola, stirring until smooth.<\/li>\n
              3. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until glossy and pourable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                7 Glaze the Cake<\/h3>\n

                While the cake is still warm<\/strong>, pour the glaze evenly over the top.
                \nSpread gently with a spatula if needed.<\/p>\n

                Pouring the glaze on a warm cake allows it to soak slightly into the surface, making it extra rich.<\/em><\/p>\n
