No Sarcasm Chocolate Cake-it deserves reverence...

2 cups of flour, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon is the beginning of heaven...So add all of this together in a bowl and set aside. Later it will be combined with heavenly goodness.

Now in a saucepan over a medium heat at first add 1 cup of butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup cola cola, and 1/2 cup buttermilk.  (pictured below) Whisk continuously and raise temp to a boil and then removed immediately!

It won't look too good until after the boil and then magic happens.  After bringing to a boil, add to your dry mixture and add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 eggs to the mixture.

Here is a tip, to keep your eggs from rollling off the counter:  give them a little tap on the counter and it will hold them in place without the eggs coming out!  Otherwise you will have  a HUGE mess on the floor!

Bake your cake in a 9x13 GREASED pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  I did 25, just make certain a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  While in the oven you will make your glaze.

Combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 cup coke in a sauce pan and again; bring almost to a boil and turn burner off.

Then slowly add 4 cups powdered sugar.  (hey I never said it was healthy or fat free) Just heavenly...   When you take the cake out of the oven pour the chocolate glaze over it and add pecans if you so choose.

Half of my family loves pecans and the other not so much.  So as you can see I only laid pecans on half of my cake and then poured my glaze over it.  Before I set the bowl down there were children behind me with glasses of milk.  SO BEWARE
