To give the icing a little bit more crunch, add chopped nuts.

Tips
Stir the cooked batter and frosting until they come to a boil for the ideal fudgy flavour.
To make the frosting, use a big or medium saucepan to allow space for the powdered sugar.
For a little extra crunch, mix in some walnuts or pecans with the frosting. Alternatively, add some chocolate chips for a triple chocolate cake with even more chocolate flavour!
Experiment with different soda flavours. This dish has a lovely taste of cherry coke.
For this dish, avoid using diet or zero-calorie cola.
