Ingredientes

15.25 ounces box chocolate fudge cake mix

4 ounces instant chocolate pudding (small box)

3 large eggs

1/3 cup oil

1 cup Coca-Cola

1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter

3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instruções

For the cake:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, stir together 15.25 ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix, 4 ounce instant chocolate pudding, 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup oil and 1 cup Coca-Cola for about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake according to package directions (usually 35-40 minutes). Note: The cake will have a slight dip in the center. This is normal. When it is done, a toothpick will come out clean.

For the frosting:

In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, start melting 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter.

Add in 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa and 4 Tablespoons heavy cream and stir.

Then whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar. Stir briskly with a whisk to get all the lumps out.

Take mixture off heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Pour frosting over cake and evenly spread it out over cake.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts on top, if using. I think this cake is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes:

If you are using milk instead of heavy cream, you will probably only need about 3-4 Tablespoons of it because milk is thinner than heavy cream. Just use your judgement on it. Start with less and add a little at a time to get the right consistency. Or, you can always add a bit more powdered sugar to the frosting to make it thicker if you like.

Other chocolate cake mix flavors can be used.
