Instructions

Melt Butter: Turn the Crock-Pot on High, and place the stick of butter in the bottom of the Crock-Pot until it starts to melt, creating a base for the batter and preventing sticking.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs and sugar to the melted butter and mix together until the mixture is creamy. Then add the cooking oil and milk and stir well to combine.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture and blend thoroughly. Once mixed, add the vanilla extract and Coca Cola and stir until the batter is smooth and completely blended.
Cook the Cake: Place the lid on the Crockpot and cook on HIGH heat for 30 minutes, then turn the heat down to MEDIUM and continue cooking for another 30 minutes. After a total of 60 minutes cooking time, turn the heat off and remove the lid.
Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools for 1-2 hours, mix the softened butter, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy to make the frosting.
Frost and Serve: Once the cake has cooled adequately, spread the cocoa frosting evenly over the top. Slice into 10 portions and serve.

Notes

Make sure to use original Coca Cola, not Diet, for the best flavor and texture.
Cooking times may vary based on your crockpot model; start checking doneness around 50 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
