Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the Coca-Cola and bring to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and pour the butter and Coke mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.

Mixing

Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the batter. Stir until smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. For a festive flair, decorate with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
