Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake

Cake:
4 cups plain flour
8 Tablespoons cocoa
3 teaspons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda
4 cups sugar
1 pound butter
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
4 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups Coca-Cola

Icing:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Coca-Cola
6 Tablespoons cocoa
1 cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 boxes powdered sugar (I usually use a lot less)

Grease and flour an 11x17 pan. Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the butter and the Coca-Cola until the butter melts. Add the eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix well. Add the liquid to the dry ingreients and beat until smooth. The batter will be very thin. Pour into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (Will also fill 2 tube p ans or 2 paper lined cupcake tins. Bake tube cakes for 60 minutes; cupcakes for 15 minutes). This cake must be iced while warm.

Icing: In a saucepan, heat the butter and Coca-Cola. Do not boil. Add all the remaining ingreients and mix well. Pour over cake. (also great poured over ice cream!)
