I saw this Double Chocolate Coca Cola Cake recipe on Facebook from an old friend. Her mother used to make this cake when we were kids, and I remember way back then when she brought it over for us to try. It was so good and brought back happy memories.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Coca Cola cake has been a family favorite for years, and there is a reason why. It's delicious! The chocolate cake is tender and soft. On top is a fudge-like frosting that forms a sugary crust once cooled. This dessert recipe is great for all occasions, like a birthday, a shower, or a weeknight dessert.
