You'll love the instructions. They're pretty retro, too. I couldn't resist, though, posting two different icing recipes (and techniques). Take your pick. So, get out your 'Pyrex' dish and bake!
COCA-COLA CHOCOLATE CAKE
2 c. unsifted cake flour
2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter
2 tbsp. cocoa
1 c. Coca-Cola
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
Sift together the flour and sugar. Heat to boiling point the butter, cocoa and Coca-Cola. Add to the flour and sugar mixture. Stir to blend. Add buttermilk, soda, eggs, salt and vanilla. Stir with a spoon until well blended. Pour into a greased and floured oblong pan (Pyrex dish). Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Batter will be thin. Ice while hot.
COCA-COLA ICING
1/2 c. butter
6 tbsp. Coca-Cola
1 box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. cocoa
Heat to boiling point the butter, cocoa and Cola-Cola. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; stir to blend. Using a fork, make holes in the hot cake and pour the hot icing over it.
BROILED PEANUT BUTTER ICING
6 Tbsp Butter 1 cup Brown Sugar; Dark, Packed
2/3 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Milk
2/3 cup Peanuts; Chopped
Cream Butter, sugar, and peanut butter. Add milk and stir well. Add nuts. Spread over warm cake. Place iced cake under broiler about 4-inches from heat source. Broil just a few seconds, or until topping starts to bubble. DO NOT scorch! Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

I've never watched Mad Men but I know quite a few people who are huge fans. From what I gather, retro and Mad Men go together like two peas in a pod so I'll just have to pass these recipes along. Luv the ads:)
I rarely drink soda but when I do, it's Pepsi! Now, on to the really serious stuff, Broiled Peanut Butter Icing! Oh my heavens! I am all over that!!!
Thanks for sharing, Janet. Any plans for National Milk Chocolate Day:)
I've never tried the broiled icing, but broiled sounds sooo good, even if you burn it a bit. Love burned chocolate and peanuts. "-)
I no longer drink soda, either, but I used to drink a lot of coke. That and gingerale were prescribed for upset stomachs when I was little.
For Milk Chocolate Day, I plan to post a Milk Chocolate Pecan Cake, but I bet it would work with peanuts, too!
I really love baking cakes and a lot more. Thank you for sharing the recipe and I will try to bake this one as soon as possible. Hope it will be a successful one. Love it.
