In a saucepan, place cola, butter, and cocoa powder. Bring to a slow boil and whisk until everything is combined smoothly.

Spread evenly into a pregreased 9×13 baking dish. 
Bake for 25-35 minutes at 350°.
Remove the cake from the oven, when a toothpick inserted, comes out clean.
For the icing: put cola in a saucepan and allow to boil for 10-15 minutes, until it reduces down to about ½-3/4 c.
Stir in butter until melted and combine cocoa, whisking in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla and whisk to incorporate.
Pour over the cake and allow to sit for 1-2 hours for the icing to harden.
