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.
