I modified and combined a few recipes I found to get to this recipe. This is the closest to Cracker Barrel's that I can get. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup coca-cola |
1 ounce semisweet baking chocolate |
3/4 cup miniature marshmallow |
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup cocoa powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups granulated sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup butter |
3 tablespoons cocoa |
6 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |

4. In a bowl, combine flour, 3/4 cup cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
5. Beat together sugar, shortening, oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until fluffy.
