(Courtesy of Mr Food)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (18.25 oz.) devil's food cake mix
1 pkg. (4 serving) chocolate instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 3/4 c. cola, divided (can use cherry cola too)
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1 pkg. (16 oz.) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat cake and pudding mixes, the eggs and oil at low speed with an electric beater until blended.  Gradually add 1 1/4 c. cola.  Increase beater speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes; pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

In a large saucepan, combine butter, cocoa and remaining 1/2 c. cola; cook over medium heat until butter melts, stirring constantly.  Do not allow to boil.  Remove from heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla then the pecans.

Spread warm frosting over top of warm cake; cool completely on a wire rack.
