Have made this cake before and YES the powdered sugar goes in the icing. You stir it in at the end and when smooth it should be thick but still runny enough to practically spread itself over the hot cake. Then cool it will resemble fudge. When done right this is an AWESOME chocolate cake.
Does the powdered sugar go into the icing?
what's the powdered sugar for?
Bring coke to a boil? yikes...
I got this recipe from my grandma - I collect family recipes, ours and others - and made it recently. It was an absolute hit!
