MOM'S CHOCOLATE COCA-COLA CAKE & FROSTING
This is the recipe my mom used to make my birthday cake when I was a little girl, and the recipe for my son's cake when he requests chocolate. It is very similar to the other Chocolate Coca-Cola Cakes, but the main difference is the little bit of cinnamon that is in it. It is our favorite chocolate birthday cake. For a prettier cake, you can use double-boiler seven minute frosting....it's not chocolate, but it does make a very pretty cake! It is a nice white frosting...almost like a meringue type frosting. Cook time does not include the 7 minutes for the white icing!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 2 cups sugar.

- Add 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla and beat inches Then fold in the marshmallows.
- Bake in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan for 30 to 35 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean) in a 350 degree oven.
- For the frosting: Place 1/2 cup margarine or butter, 3 tbsp cocoa, and 5 tbsp coke in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the confectioners sugar and vanilla. Mix well. If it is too thick, and a drop or two more of coke.
- If you want the white 7 minute frosting: (These ingredients are not listed above!)

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the frosting will taste. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a smooth, velvety texture.
- Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating will make the frosting grainy and stiff. Beat the frosting just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Let the frosting chill before using. This will help the frosting to set and make it easier to spread.
- Use a variety of toppings. Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or grated chocolate are all great ways to add flavor and texture to your frosting.

Mom's Creamy Chocolate Frosting is a rich, delicious, and versatile frosting that is perfect for any chocolate lover. It is easy to make and can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect chocolate frosting every time.
