This cake has been made in my family for decades. We love it and it's always a hit wherever we take it.

This was an odd recipe....especially the marshmellows which did not melt and made a puddle of goo on top. Why doesn't it just say to add them with the boiling coke and butter mixture. I just scraped them off when I took it out of the oven. After the other comments I thought I would try what one reviewer said and cook it a bit longer and it seemed to work. No issues getting it out of the pan and everyone loved it. I did add another 2 TB butter softened and another 2 TB of cocoa and about another cup of powdered sugar for the icing. Everyone loved it. Very rich and sweet. I am not sure I would make it again unless like this time the person I make it for loved Coke and chocolate.

My MIL had given me her recipe for Coco-Cola cake and I lost the recipe card. I think this is the exact recipe and my girls always want coco-cola cake as their bday cake. My daughter has celiac disease so I made it with gluten free flour and everyone loved it. My in-laws were here when I made it and they thought it was great!

ingredients were right but steps/instructions werent in right place. it is important that marshmallows gets to be added to bowl right after the cocoa-coke mixture so it has chance to melt (incorporate with the batter) before eggs and buttermilk is added. Baking soda should be added to the dry mixture.

I'd never had cola cake before and decided to try the recipe on a whim. I guess my expectations were very far off; I figured that the small amount of cocoa involved would boost the cola flavor and the cake would taste like... well, cola. I was very, very wrong. The combination of cocoa and cola resulted in a flavor purgatory - this cake isn't chocolatey enough to be a real chocolate cake but isn't cola-ish enough to really be a cola cake. This cake's ONLY redeming attribute was its texture (most, springy, good crumb).

This cake is so good! The only thing I would recommend doing something different with is the frosting. We didn't use any pecans and the frosting was super thin. So, I added 1/4 flour, I would have added more confectioners sugar, but didn't have any more. It thickened it a little and I thought it turned out perfect! Oh, I am also a super chocolate freak! I seen on here where it said it wasn't as 'chocolate-y' as some would like. I made sure my tablespoons of cocoa were HEAPING tablespoons. The best part about it is, it is so rich and so good you can only eat a small piece at a time, which makes it a perfect dish to take for holidays, plenty to go around!

Recipe as is is three stars. I followed the recipe closely, only adding three tablespoons extra to the cake batter and and one extra to the frosting. I tried the marshmallows, but they floated to the top and drifted to the side of the pan. I ended up fishing them out before sticking the cake in the oven. (And if you think that was fun, you must be crazy.) The instructions for the frosting didn't follow the instructions. Good thing I knew to add four tablespoons of softened butter to the frosting, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out well. I also added TEN tablespoons of cola to the frosting to make it a spreadable consistancy. It almost looks like melted milk chocolate. It wasn't difficult for me to make, but I'm hoping that what I learned from making this cake that it will help someone else. This is a really sweet cake. Almost cavity-enducing. The cake itself is passable but it's the frosting that makes it good. I suggest you add the extra chocolate powder. You'll thank me. EDITED TO ADD: Everyone ate one small piece. After that, noone would touch it. Too much for this household. I won't be making this again.

My friend asked for this cake for her birthday and I decided to give it a try first and I am so glad I did! I read the other reviews and saw where people didn't think the cake had enough chocolate,so I used 5 tablespoons of cocoa with the cake and 3 tablespoons in the icing. It was really GOOD! I think this brought it to the level of chocolate I needed for my craving. Can't wait to make it again this weekend for my friends birthday!

How did this cake EVER get a five star rating. I did not care for this recipe! What is going on with the frosting recipe? Made as directed, it had the texture of playdough. What a waste of time.

What did I do wrong? I got a weird brownie thing and all the marshmallows pooled on top to form a weird goo. I was hoping for something like the Coke Cake that Cracker Barrel used to have, but I didn't get this too work. Not bad, but I won't make again. It was probably my mistake, but I can't see what I did wrong.

Delicious! Not very chocolatey, but still sweet and tasty. An excellent use for the last bit of flat pop in a 2 liter.

Personally, I loved this recipe. The cake was rich, fudgy and very moist thanks to the icing almost melting into the cake at the end. (It's almost more of a brownie). I gave it 4 stars only because my husband, self proclaimed chocolate cake expert, did not care for it at all.

I came across this recipe when searching for a cake to make for my Dad's birthday. I left out the pecans, mainly because I don't like them, and it was still great. I've made it twice now. It is almost as easy as making a cake from a mix. It's very sweet but not super chocolatey, and the texture is nice and moist. My entire family really enjoyed it. It's a keeper for us.
