Coke Cake-Cracker Barrel Style image

I've tried many recipes for coco-cola cakes and just couldn't find one like Cracker Barrel's. I finally just adapted a recipe into this cake. My husband requests this for his birthday cake every year. My MIL says it's even better than Cracker Barrel! Imagine that, a compliment from the MIL! This cake is amazing warm served with vanilla ice cream but I'm told it's even better the next day.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup cola, beverage
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 ounces marshmallow cream
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
9 tablespoons cola, this should be the remaining cola left in a 12oz can
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Cake:.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
Combine flour, granulated sugar and baking soda in mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 5 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cola beverage to boiling. (whisk together as it melts).
Pour over the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. I just use a whisk for this because it comes together so easily.
Add buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Pour into prepared 9x13 pan.
Bake for 40 minutes.
During last 10 minutes of baking prepare frosting.
Prepare Second Frosting:.
Place 5 cups confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 9 tablespoons cola beverage. Whisk together. Heat to boiling.
Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour over 4 cups confectioners' sugar.
Mix well with a whisk.
Assembly:.
Remove cake from oven.
Immediately frost with marshmallow cream. Go slow. This will prevent tearing the cake. As the fluff warms a bit it will spread easily.
Slowly pour warm coco-cola frosting over marshmallow fluff.
It's best to let this cake cool for about an hour before cutting into it.

Tips:

To ensure a moist and flavorful cake, use room temperature ingredients and cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a 9x13 inch baking pan to ensure the cake is the right size. If using a different sized pan, adjust the baking time accordingly.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as this can result in a dry cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a stand or hand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
When frosting the cake, start with a thin layer and then add more frosting as needed. Smooth the frosting with a spatula or offset spatula until it is even and covers the entire cake.
For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cake with Coca-Cola bottle candies, gummy bears, or other candy of your choice.

Conclusion:

This Coca-Cola cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful cake and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Coca-Cola cake a try.
