The chocolate indulgent coca-cola cake has a pretty big following in my house. This cake is the most requested dessert that I make. I make a lot of decadent cakes for my family.
The chocolate-indulgent coca cola cake is no slouch. It’s a chocolate lover’s dream. The carbonation from the coke used in the cake batter makes the cake extremely moist and light. You then top it off with a chocolate cream cheese frosting containing pillows of light soft fluffiness.
What makes this Chocolate Indulgent Coca-Cola Cake so delicious
It’s hard to believe a cake could taste so good that’s made from a box mix along with a few other ingredients. Coca-Cola is that one ingredient which makes this cake fluffy, moist and so delicious.
There are various recipes on the internet for the coca cola cake. Each claiming to be a moist and delicious cake. Heck, I have a coca cola recipe book and it listed two different recipes for the same cake. One of the recipes featured a cake that was made from scratch and the second recipe detailed a cake that was made with a box mix.
Yep, you guessed it. I went with the recipe where the cake is made from the box mix. It’s all about the convenience. On top of that, it’s the recipe for the cake my family loves with a few added ingredients.
The frosting is a traditional buttercream with the addition of cocoa powder.
Once its finished its a cake lover’s dream. You can see why the chocolate indulgent coca-cola cake is a family favorite.
