CHOCOLATE CHERRY COLA CAKE



Chocolate Cherry Cola Cake image

I love to celebrate birthdays with the crew and my bandmates. When we're on the road, it's nice to have the band family celebrate. Jimi's birthday falls at the end of October, and I sometimes make this silly chocolate cherry cola cake for him, decorating the top with chocolate cherry cordials or gummy candies. I always let him choose what he's got a hankering for, and it's often this.

Idahoan Coca-Cola® Cake image

This recipe originally came from one of our favorite Food Network stars, Nigella Lawson. A little alteration here and there (like including Idahoan's Original Mashed Potatoes) to this wonderfully rich cake made with Coca-Cola® and a new favorite was created.

Provided by Idahoan

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Idahoan®

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups Idahoan® Boxed Original Mashed Potatoes, dry
1 stick unsalted butter
8 ounces Coca-Cola® (or Guinness® for an adult cake)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¾ cups superfine sugar
½ cup sour cream
2 medium eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
¾ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the sides and bottom of spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt stick of butter in a large, wide sauce pan.
  • Add cola, cocoa powder and superfine sugar and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk sour cream, eggs and vanilla thoroughly until almost a batter-like consistency and add slowly into the slightly cooled butter mixture.

  • Pour into spring form pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Test center of cake with a wooden toothpick (cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean).
  • Cool and remove from spring form pan. Note: This is a very dark and dense cake.

This is from The Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn which I sent to **Mandy** as part of the 2009 Cookbook Swap. This is a great recipe to carry to a potluck. Especially good with a big glass of milk!

Time 1h27m

Yield 1 cake, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package plain white cake mix
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup cola
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
frosting, ingredients
8 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup cola
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Lightly mist a 13"x9" baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Set pan aside.
  • Place the cake mix, cocoa powder, melted butter, cola, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look well blended. Fold in the marshmallows. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pan into the oven.
  • Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and just starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 40 to 42 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Place the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. As the butter melts, stir in the cocoa powder and cola. Let the mixture come just to a boil, stirring constantly, and then remove it from the heat. Stir in the confectioners' sugar until the frosting is thickened and smooth. Fold in the pecans.
  • Pour the frosting over the top of the cake, spreading it out with a rubber spatula so that it reaches the edges of the cake. Cool the cake for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Store this cake, covered in aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to 1 week. Or freeze it, wrapped in foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight on the counter before serving.
