Help! Need coca cola cake recipe

[Susann]

Ok, this may be a long shot, but I was going to make a coca cola cake for my party today, but the recipe got torn in half. Can anyone save me? There is a piece of coca cola cake through my modem in it for you! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Sherry and Mamasue-you are both awesome! Thank you sooooo much. Reading your post, I felt like such a moron for not doing a search myself! I guess I was just in panic mode.

Susann,
Well, you re covered with the recipes, so I won t add any more. But - is this party a birthday party by any chance? http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

[Susann]

Hi Natasha. Actually, my birthday is in 6 days (yikes! 32!), but this is a wedding shower for a friend of mine. My friend who I am doing the shower with thinks I am making way too much but she isn't addicted to this bb, so she doesn't understand that I *have* to make a ton of stuff so I can share it with my bb friends! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

LOL. I know what you mean. People are sometimes surprised at how much I cook/bake for a party or just because, but there are so many tempting recipes out there (especially from CL and this board) that I really want to try as much as I can! Anyway, have a great party, and happy birthday in advance!

OK, here is the review-I used Sherry's first recipe (which is very similar to the one Mamasue posted). It is very rich and very chocolaty. But it is also gooey and not very party-friendly. Dh is doing backflips because we may have to leave it here!

What does coca-cola cake taste like?

[Beth]

Mightyh, I haven't made one in years, but coca cola cake tastes like a rich, light (as opposed to dark) chocolate cake. It needs some kind of topping, because those mini marshmallows float on the top of the batter and melt in, but leave their telltale signs. It was one of the first cakes I learned to bake from scratch, and it's a fun science experiment for kids (the batter kind of foams when you pour in the cola).
