Step 1

Prepare the Sheet Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 17 1/2- x 12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Bring cola, butter, and unsweetened cocoa to a boil in a medium sauce-pan over medium-high, stirring often. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
Add cola mixture; whisk until blended.
Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Pour batter into prepared baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

Step 3

Prepare the Rich Fudge Icing:
Cook butter and cocoa in a medium saucepan over medium-low, whisking often, until butter melts and mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to low; whisk in cola and milk until blended.
Gradually add powdered sugar, whisking constantly until blended.
Whisk in vanilla.

Step 4

Pour warm icing over warm cake; gently spread in an even layer.
Sprinkle with pecans.
Cool completely in baking sheet on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
