A classic southern favorite, Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake is a wonderfully rich and chocolatey cake with coca-cola in both the cake and frosting. Moist, rich chocolate, perfectly textured, and easy to prepare, it’s sure to become a family favorite!
We decided to eat at Cracker Barrel for Easter; I was more than happy for someone else to cook and clean for once. As always, I order the pancakes at Cracker Barrel regardless of what time of day it is.
Furthermore, I never have room for dessert. Ryder didn’t have room either, but he kept looking at the sign for this Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake that sat on the table. About halfway through the meal, probably when he realized he wouldn’t have room for dessert either, he asked me if I could make this chocolate cake for him.
As soon as I got home I started looking through my cookbooks to find the recipe. This is a classic chocolate cake; at least it’s a classic in the South. I’ve had it at church socials and family reunions. My mother made a similar cake that I decided to alter. I’m please with the result.
This Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake is gooey and chocolaty. It’s similar to a brownie except with frosting.
The frosting is velvety smooth, sweet, and has a light chocolate flavor.
