If you haven’t noticed, I have a bit of an obsession with using Coca-Cola in savory recipes and decided it was time to try it out as a dessert! I had a friend who knows of my obsession with cooking with Coca-Cola loan me a Cooking with Coca-Cola cookbook and she said this was the best cake ever!! Now to warn you this is fully loaded with calories! And as you can see the kids were dying to get a taste of it!
Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 8 Tbspn Sweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon (the original recipe calls for 3 but we aren’t huge cinnamon fans)
- 1 Tbspn Salt
- 2 Tbspn Baking Soda
- 4 Cups Sugar
- 4 Sticks Butter
- 1 Cup Buttermilk (We made our own with 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar mixed together)
- 4 Eggs
- 4 Tspn Vanilla
- 2 cups of Coca-Cola
Coca Cola Chocolate Cake Icing Ingredients:
- 1 Stick Butter
- 1⁄2 Cup Coca-Cola
- 6 Tspn Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 Tspn Vanilla
- 16 Oz. Powdered Sugar
- 1 Cup of Chopped Pecans
Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour an 11×17 inch pan or roasting pan. I did use a Pyrex 4.8 Quart pan next time I will leave some of the batter out as it still overflowed a bit.
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and sugar in a mixing bowl, and set aside.
In a pan on the stove at low heat, heat the butter with the cups of Coca-Cola until the butter has melted.
Next add eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk to the butter and butter mixture and mix well.
Add the Coca-Cola liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and beat until mixed well.
Pour batter into the baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. (You could make 2 tube pans baked for 60 minutes or 24 cupcakes baked for 15 minutes.)
Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake Icing Directions:
In a saucepan, heat together the butter and Coca-Cola. Be sure not to boil.
Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour icing over the cake. You must ice this cake warm!
Serve and enjoy!!

Pop & chocolate!! 2 of my favorites, only question…can I use Pepsi instead???
Jenny says
I would imagine so but it might change the flavoring of the cake.
Melanie says

belinda bell says
I have made coke cola cake and they are soooo good
Sherry says
Love the cake! I do like coca cola recipes.
Tracy Robertson says
It looks really good! I would like to see the recipe sized for a 9″x 11″ pan though. I don’t have an 11″ x 17″, and that would be a bit much cake for my household of 2.
Bernice says

Jenny says
Yes its that much butter in the cake.
