Method

In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, granulated sugar, and baking soda; set aside. In a medium saucepan bring cola, butter, and cocoa powder to boiling over medium heat. Add the hot mixture to the flour mixture; stir till just combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla; stir till combined. Gently stir in marshmallows (they will float to the top). Pour the cake batter into a greased and floured 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes or till a wooden pick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer cake in pan to a wire rack. Immediately spread cocoa topping over cake. Thoroughly cool cake on rack. Cocoa Topping: In a medium saucepan bring 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup cola to boiling. Add 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix with a wire whisk till combined. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts.
