This Chocolate Cake recipe has been on my “share on the blog” list for quite some time. I grew up eating this delectable cake for birthdays, holidays and various other celebrations. It doesn’t fit in the natural, health-food category, at all, but oh my word, it is SO good. It is the best chocolate cake you will ever eat. Trust me. The secret ingredient…well, not-so-secret and definitely not-so-healthy is…Coca-Cola!
Are you licking your screen, right about now?
I made a Coca-Cola Cake for my youngest brother’s 15th birthday yesterday. It was a huge hit at his birthday supper with family and friends. 
Chocolate Cake {Coca-Cola Cake}
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 can Coca-Cola {1 cup for cake and 6 tablespoons for icing}
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift sugar and flour together. Bring butter, cocoa and 1 cup Coca-Cola to a rolling boil. Pour over flour and sugar. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk add to cake mixture. Then add eggs and vanilla and mix well with a whisk or spoon. Pour into greased 13 x 9 pan and bake 45 minutes. Let cake cool for 1 1/2-2 hours before icing.
Chocolate Icing:
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons Coco-Cola
1 pound confectioners’ {powdered} sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Bring the butter, cocoa, and Coco-Cola to a rolling boil. Add sugar, vanilla and pecans. Pour over cake in the pan while icing is hot.
Let the icing cool and harden. Serve and enjoy.
C’mon over and I’ll serve you a piece of cake along with a scoop of ice cream!
Have you ever had Coca-Cola Cake? Is it just a Southern thing?
