Made this today and it turned out terrific! So delicious; chocolaty, light, moist, and not too sweet. We are not frosting people so I cut the frosting recipe in half and it was just right. Covered the cake in a thin layer adding just enough yumminess. Thank you for sharing; this recipe is a keeper for sure!

1st Coca Cola Cake!! It turned out great!! I was at work yesterday and a staff member had made a cola cake for our staff dessert potluck event. I did not try it, but I said that it sounded interesting. I decided to make your recipe today to bring for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. I was really impressed by how chocolatey the cake was, not overly sweet. The crumb was perfect!! I can definitely agree with others, that this was the best chocolate cake recipe ever!! Thanks so much!

This cake really surprised me! A lot of recipes for chocolate cake can turn out too sweet or too “heavy”, but that wasn’t a problem here at all. In fact, this will become my go-to for chocolate cake henceforth. The crumb is light and tender, the texture and amount of frosting is perfect for the cake it’s paired with. And it doesn’t taste overtly like a can of soda either. Not cloying in its sweetness at all. Thanks so much for sharing this!!

This cake turned out amazing!!! The crumb is so light and fluffy. I could have ate the cake without the icing. I have never done a glaze and was a little intimidated, but it worked perfectly. I feel like this cake is giving me a vibe between a brownie and Texas sheet cake. My co-workers definitely enjoyed it. Thanks for another amazing recipe.

Another home run by Sugar Spun Run! I made this for my grandson’s homecoming. He says it is the best cake he has ever had! Thank you for another “keeper”.

I have been making a recipe for years that claims to be the original Coca Cola cake recipe. Though my family always enjoys it, there was a little “oiliness” in the finished product that I didn’t adore. This recipe is wonderful! A little chocolatier and a slightly different crumb that was very nice (I subbed the sour cream for greek yogurt which I had on hand.) I also enjoyed the subtle soda taste in the frosting as opposed to just cream. Thanks so much for the recipe and all your interesting videos! My young teen daughter enjoys watching you bake.

I made this cake but used your favorite chocolate frosting. This cake is the bomb. I finally found the perfect homemade chocolate cake I have been searching for and I’m 73, that’s a lot of searching. Thank you so very much for all the work you put into all the recipes you give to us, you are such a joy to watch.

In reply to Laura. I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much, Laura! Thank you for the feedback on making them as cupcakes and how you made the frosting. :)

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I used it to make cupcakes, and they were lovely. The coke flavor is definitely subtle, but I feel like it amplifies the chocolate in a wonderful way.
If anyone else is looking to do cupcakes I baked for 22 minutes at 325° (I lowered the temp from the recommended 350° because I was using non-stick bakeware) Also, because I was doing cupcakes I wasn’t able to pour the frosting over a warm cake to set as instructed. Instead I followed the frosting recipe as directed, and then once it was cool I added a few tablespoons of room temp butter, and whipped it with a hand mixer. The resulting frosting was light airy and perfect for piping onto the cooled cupcakes.

Sam this is the best chocolate cake ever! I’m so glad you told us about the mixture may separate in the saucepan, I would have thought I had done something wrong and pitched it out. You are the best! Love and hugs to you and yours

In reply to Raenell. Hi Raenell! This cake should work just fine in 2 8 or 9 inch round pans. You will want to adjust the bake time. Be sure to keep an eye on it as I'm not sure how long they'd need to bake. :)

Hi there and thank you for sharing your recipe. Can I make this into a two layer cake like maybe an eight or 9 inch
