By: Ellen Champagne

"'I love this tender cake because I usually have the ingredients on hand and it mixes up in a jiffy,' relates Ellen Champagne of New Orleans, Louisiana. 'The rich fudge frosting is easy to prepare, and the chopped pecans add nice crunch."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup regular cola
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
FUDGE FROSTING:
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cubed
1/3 cup regular cola
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in marshmallows. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for frosting, combine cocoa and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in cola until blended. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in pecans. Spread over cake. Let stand for 20 minutes before cutting.
