Ingredients

Cakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1 cup cola soft drink

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup bourbon

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Bourbon-and-Cola Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 3 Tbsp. cola soft drink

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa

  • 1 Tbsp. bourbon

  • 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar; beat until blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat at low speed until blended.

  2. Stir together cola, buttermilk, and bourbon in a small bowl. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in another bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with cola mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Pour batter into 3 lightly greased 12-cup Bundt brownie pans, filling each three-fourths full.

  3. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool 30 minutes.

  4. For Bourbon-and-Cola Glaze, cook first 3 ingredients in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter melts. Remove from heat; stir in bourbon. Beat in powdered sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Drizzle warm Bourbon-and-Cola Glaze over cakes.
