Coca Cola Cake

by Patricia on April 18, 2009 · 6 comments

I was searching for ideas and tips on using soda (aka “coke” if you’re in the South) in cakes in preparation for this month’s Iron Cupcake: Earth challenge (soda pop is the theme ingredient).  And that’s when I found it.  And once I found it, I had to have it.  Do you ever get those uncontrollable urges (needs) to bake something?  What is *it*? Coca Cola Cake.  I’ve never had it before.  I found it on Southern Plate.  But once I read about it with the cocoa and the marshmallows and the cocoa I had to have it.  The coca cola addition was more a curiosity to me than anything else.  I was no longer thinking about Iron Cupcake, I was only thinking about tasting this cake.

So I stopped at the store on the way home from work with 2 things on my list: marshmallows and a bottle of Coke.  I had everything else I needed at home.  And like a woman possessed, I baked.  I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to do with 13×9 inches of cake when I was the only one there to eat it but that was not a good enough reason to stop.
