Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the instant chocolate pudding mix, eggs, butter, and margarine at low speed using an electric mixer until well blended. |
| 2 | Add Cola: Gradually pour in 1 1/4 cups of cola soft drink while continuing to beat the mixture. Increase the speed to medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy. |
| 3 | Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking pan, ensuring it is evenly spread out. |
| 4 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 5 | Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. |
| 6 | Prepare Frosting: While the cake is cooling, in a large saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of cola soft drink, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts, ensuring not to boil the mixture. |
| 7 | Add Sweetness: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. |
| 8 | Incorporate Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the frosting. |
| 9 | Apply Frosting: While the frosting is still warm, spread it generously over the top of the warm cake, ensuring full coverage. |
| 10 | Cool Completely: Allow the frosted cake to cool completely on the wire rack before serving, ensuring the frosting sets properly. |
