I've had it and it was delicious.   When I heard how to make it I could not believe it could be so simple.  So simple AND taste so good!  Unbelievable.

Well, I'm here to say that it really IS that easy to make :)      

Have you ever heard of a Coca-Cola Cake? 

This is what you need/do.

  • One box of chocolate cake mix. (any brand)                             choc cake mis

 

  • One can of DIET coca-cola. (I used the real stuff, but my guess is that the other brands will work just the same)

                                         can of diet coke

  • Preheat the oven to whatever it says on the box of cake mix.  

 

  • Prepare your cake pan as usual.

 

  • Empty the cake mix into a large bowl  - and add the can of diet coke.

YOU DO NOT ADD THE EGGS / WATER / OIL....   ONLY ADD THE CAN OF SODA!

  • Mix well.  (I used my beaters as usual, just not quite as long)

                                                                                 mix the cake

  • Spread batter into prepared pan.  (batter is a little bit thicker than usual - don't worry!)

 

  • Bake according to package directions depending on what size pan you are using :)

 

                                                            choc cake

 

Bakes up nice and moist - and delicious.    I did not put any frosting on mine - but you can use your favorite frosting recipe if you want!

This is definitely a healthier option than the way a box mix is traditionally prepared.

JUST THINK OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU COULD MAKE IT!!

White/Yellow cake mix (or any other flavor where the batter is light in color)-  use diet sprite or diet 7-up!

How about Diet Dr Pepper with Chocolate Cake Mix -   yummm

Enjoy!

 

UPDATE -  HERE IS THE FROSTING RECIPE:

This is what you need/do:

2 Tablespoons Butter,  1 box powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons Cocoa, 6 Tablespoons Coca-Cola

  • Combine butter - cocoa and Coca-cola in saucepan and heat to boiling.
  • Pour over sugar in a bowl and mix well.   (add 1 cup chopped pecans now if you want)
  • FROST THE CAKE WHILE IT IT STILL WARM :)

 

 

If you are thinking of moving South - give me a call :)

Kara, I do love Coke cake. My mom-in-law use to make it by scratch and it is yummy. I had never thought about using a box and thank you for that hint! This sounds great and I WILL be trying it.

Thanks a bunch,

Later in the rain~Deb

I have never heard of this.  I hate baking cakes because of all the little ingredients it takes.  Cake mix and coke sounds easy enough.  I'll be trying it!

Wow - I never would have guessed that this chocolate cake recipe would get so many comments!  :)

It is half-time of the Giants/Eagles game so - in the interest of time -  I will just try to comment back to everyone at once.   (remember, I said try, lol)

Here goes!:

  So easy.... well,  need I say more, lol                      caveman from geico insurance

It tastes like chocolate cake - moist delicious chocolately chocolate cake!! It doesn't taste like coca-cola at all, lol.  But I'm guessing that the dr. pepper might have a hint of cherry flavor.  And for sure diet sprite/7-up would work, too.

I do have the recipe for the frosting (it is down in the car, but I will add it to my post tomorrow....I did have to write that down --but I didn't have to write down the 'recipe' for the cake, lol) 

I used 'diet' coke because that is what I was told, so I really don't know what the difference would be is y'all wanted to use 'regular' coke. 

Silvia - feel free to borrow this for your newsletter!  (watch for my update with the frosting recipe - - that isn't as easy as the cake unfortunately)  feel free to mention my name/location  - maybe we can get some referrals going!! 

I don't know what the 'magic' is with the soda - but yes, that is all that you add to the mix - and it is awesome!    (if you have a larger bottle on  hand--- just measure out 12 oz.)

This would be great to take anytime you have to bring a dessert - or a birthday at the office :)

Also a great recipe for the young bakers in our lives. 

Cake after Taylor Ham sounds good to me, too, Jim :)

Kara, this is definitely something that I will have to try. I wonder if I can substitute tequila instead.

I like Danny's idea of tequila, b ut I must say diet Dr.Pepper sounds great.  I'm going to give this a go!  (You knew I would, it's chocolate!)

I'm certain this is delicious....And I'm quite sure that the American Dental Society endorses it!!! Hey, they have to make a living too!

I noticed your new pic...It seems everyone put new pictures of themselves up this weekend....Is it part of the "Change in America" revolution that's sweeping across the country?!!!!

I'm not too sure that tequila would work, lol - but y'all can try it and let me know!

Not sure what got into me this weekend - but I actually stepped to the other side of the camera for a change, lol.

If you do make it - let me know how you liked it!

Enjoy !  :)

How about a Jack and Coke cake?  I like your ingredient of Classic Coke.  I just don't have the taste for diet drinks.
