Coke cake. I get a great response every time I serve this cake, and it seems like I'm forever sharing the recipe! Folks are always curious about the ingredients, and when I tell them the cake has cola in it, they are really surprised. This recipe uses a can of soda instead of the oil, water, and eggs added to packaged cake recipes.
There is no question that Coca-Cola Cake is simply one of the best sheet cake baking recipes on earth.
The richly sweet syrup and magical bubbly brew of carbonated cola is the not-so-secret ingredient that gives this cake its moist and tender texture.
This is the perfectly easy cake for any occasion, from birthdays to Christmas.

- Notes- Measure out all ingredients place all ingredients in separate bowls,and set aside. You will be adding ingredients quickly this doesn’t take long to make, and you don’t want to burn anything so have all the ingredients right there at the stove with you, except the stuff you add after you remove it from the heat..
- I used the milk and lemon juice because I don’t use or like butter milk. I thought my icing wasn’t going to turn out it started out dry and nothing really creamed together till I added in the coke and chocolate syrup (I also measured out these ahead of time as well.).
- At some point my handheld mixer was having trouble mixing as it got thicker and when i add the confectioner sugar but I kept it going and it turned out to be nice and creamy. I didn’t let my cake cool but for 5 mins after coming out of the oven and it melted my icing some..
- It does say ice it warm Not hot lol this was my fault I should have waited to ice it. Making the icing was messy out of all of it, my hand mixer was covered in cocoa dust lol.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, Coke. Combine flour and white sugar in mixing bowl. Coca Cola Cake is so moist and chocolatey! This easy Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake recipe is so easy to make without a box mix and tastes even better than the famous Cracker Barrel dessert.
