Chocolate Cola Cake main

Have you been looking for the most divine chocolate cake recipe on the planet earth?

Well then my lovelies, look no further. Not only will this Chocolate Cola Cake blow your mind, but it promises to blow the mind of your cake loving friends. Hey it might even blow the mind of your non cake loving friends. I know my not-a-fan-of-cake husband enjoyed himself a couple of pieces.

So what is the secret to this best chocolate cake ever you ask?

So obviously one of the secrets to this delicious and moist is cola. There is another secret little ingredient though. One that keeps the cake from drying out and packs it with extra richness. Seriously, the leftovers are just as glorious as the just-out-of-the-oven piece. So if possible save a couple of pieces. I say if possible, because you will probably want to finish the cake and like the dish clean.

Go ahead and make this, your new favorite chocolate cake recipe, for yourself or for your friends, or for the answer to a rough day. Basically just find an excuse to make this simply delightful Chocolate Cola Cake.

    I can’t wait to make the chocolate cola cake. My question is, do you put the marshmallows into the cake batter. The Mississippi mud cake recipe calls for them to go on top of the hot cake. Thanks So Much!

    I’ve made several types of cakes using “soda”, never coke…but probably the same theory. It does make it very moist and more tasty. I’ve never tried using “soda” in the frosting. Definitely gonna have to try it.

    Pinned this ;)

    Thanks for sharing
