Important notes:

  • If you don’t have buttermilk in hand, make your own! Combine ½ cup of milk, ½ tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice; cool at room temperature for 20 minutes and add unsweetened yogurt of extra flavor.
  • Chopped nuts or pecans are a great topping to coca cola cake, combine both of them and sprinkle them on the top.
  • Coca cola cake freezes very good, save your leftovers in a safe container (they keep for more than a month).
  • You can add some cinnamon, it adds a warm flavor and compliments the taste of the cola.

Serving Ideas

Coca cake goes well with raspberry ice cream or coffee, you can also serve it along with fruit slices and nuts.

WHAT TO DO WITH DRY CAKE?

If ever your cake dried, I have some tricks to save it:

  • Pair it with ice cream
  • Seal it with an apple
  • Nuke it
  • Steam it
  • Spray it with simple syrup

HOW TO MAKE IT :  

Prepare Cake:

  • Set the oven at 350°F, Butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan.
  • Whisk the first 4 ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, add the Coca Cola, cocoa, and butter and bring just to a boil, over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Pour into flour mixture and stir until blended.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla together then whisk into flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Prepare Gaze:

  • Start making the glaze the last 15 minutes before the cake is done baking. In a saucepan, bring the Coca Cola to a boil, over medium-high; continue to cook 12-15 minutes or until soda has been reduced to 1/2 a cup.
  • Stir in the butter, and cocoa until the butter has melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla and Confectioners’ Sugar and mix until smooth.
  • Pour immediately over hot cake.
