Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 can (12 ounces) cola
• 1 cup butter, cubed

1/4 cup baking cocoa

4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 13x9-in. baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. In a small saucepan, combine cola, butter and cocoa; bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
• In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended; add to flour mixture, whisking constantly.
