Ingredients

1/2 cup 1 stick butter

1 cup about 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup cocoa powder unsweetened

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup Coca-Cola

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350, line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and

set aside.

In a large bowl melt the butter and chocolate chips: combine butter and chocolate chips and

microwave for 30 seconds, then remove from microwave and stir and then microwave again for

30 seconds and stir and microwave for another 30 seconds then stir, mine takes 1 and a half

minutes.

Remove from microwave and stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth, then add in the

eggs, vanilla extract and cocoa cola and stir until combined.\

Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and carefully stir util all ingredients are combined.

Pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl.

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon scoop tablespoon size balls of cookie batter and roll it into the

powdered sugar (this is what gives it the crinkle) then place the dough ball on the cookie sheet

and gently press down. Bake for 12 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool for 5

minutes before transferring to a wire wrack to cool, then enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Cake:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

3 Tablespoons cocoa powder

1 cup Coca-Cola

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ cup buttermilk

2 eggs

For the Glaze:

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup heavy cream

1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Instructions

For the Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray.

Melt the butter, cocoa powder and Coke together in a small saucepan. Combine the flour and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, then add the Coke mixture and beat to combine. Put the baking soda in the buttermilk. Beat one egg into the batter, then add the buttermilk and the remaining egg and buttermilk mixture until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan (it is a thin batter). Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 – 45 minutes. Cool the cake for about 20 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

The cake must be completely cool, or the glaze will slide right off. Place a piece of foil or paper under the cooling rack to catch any drips and make clean-up easier. Cut the butter into cubes and place in a large saucepan with the brown sugar, cream and salt. After everything melts together, bring to a full, rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. When it reaches that boil, count to 60 Mississippi, then pull it off the heat. Leave the pan to cool for about 3 minutes, then vigorously beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. 

Immediately pour the glaze over the cake, but do so slowly and evenly to cover as much surface as possible. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the glaze. Leave the glaze to set, then slice and enjoy.

Covered tightly, this cake will last a few days.

Arrange the carrots and onion wedges around the roast, placing a few onion wedges on top.

Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the roast.

Mix together the coca cola, brown gravy mix and Herbes de Provence until dissolved. Pour over

mashed potatoes, omit.

to your taste.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours. To make the gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove the roast and

Thicken with cornstarch or a flour slurry to make the gravy, if desired.
