    Double Chocolate Cocoa Coke-a-Cola , Blast from the Past , Cake

    This was a popular thing in the 1970's , my wife (Debbie) would make it for her "Pokeno" parties and I got to eat all the leftover cake ... still love it . The Coke gives it a unique flavor, a simple sheet cake that's easy to make ... and brings back fond memories .

    Ingredients:
    1 cup regular Coke-a-Cola (not diet or sugar free or caffiene free...real Coke)
    1/2 cup cooking oil ( like Wesson Oil )
    1 stick real Butter
    3 Tbspns Hersey's Cocoa Powder
    2 Cps. Sugar
    2 cps. plain flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    2 eggs @ room temperature
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Frosting Ingredients:
    1 stick butter (softened)
    2 1/2 Tbspns. cocoa powder
    6 Tbspns. cream or milk
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 3/4 cup confectioners sugar

    Directions:
    1. In a saucepan mix coke-a-cola , oil , butter and Herseys cocoa powder and bring to a boil . In a bowl combine sugar , flour and salt.
    Pour the Cola mixture over the flour and beat well .
    2. Add eggs , buttermilk , baking soda and vanilla and beat well . Pour mixture into a greased and floured 13 X 9 baking pan . Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 mins.
    3. Frosting : In a saucepan combine butter , cocoa and milk . Heat untill the butter
    melts . Beat in the remaining vanilla and confectioners sugar untill smooth .
    4. Spread frosting on still warm cake . Let cool until frosting sets .

    I didn't say this but a piece eaten while still warm ... it's pretty darn Awesome !

    Sorry about that ... I only posted it so it wouldn't get forgotten in this day of Tofurkey , Keto , Low Fat , No salt , sugar free recipes ... I would hate to see a generation miss this good , easy to make treat ... Grandchildren would enjoy the heck out of eating a big square and they would have those memories forever . Pass the recipe down... it's your cake loving duty !

    Cracker Barrel restaurants have it on their menu. Too bad Coke has gone woke. May have to substitute Jolt.

    Jolt Cola - Twice the sugar and twice the caffeine !!! I loved it , along with RC Cola ...
    Royal Crown or Jolt would make suitable substitutes to Coke ... I was always a RC Cola fan because the bottles were larger than Coke's . Then Jolt came along ... Oh Yeah ...SWEET !

    All of them are way to sweet, Coke isn't as sweet and I haven't found anything to replace it.

    I was just reading thru the latest "Tennessee Magazine" published by the electric co-ops and found this:

    https://www.tnmagazine.org/cake-it-easy/

    Not exactly the same but similar. I'm not a cook but I do try occasionally so this may go into the file and never see the light of day again in this household.

    My Mom's 'secret' Chocolate cake recipe uses leftover coffee instead of water.

    Thanks for the "Sheet Cake" Link there are 4 different recipes for sheet cakes , Cola , Chocolate Caramel , Peach and Caramel Apple ... I printed them all and going to try each and every one ...
    My waist line may suffer from this ...but it's all in the name of good eating !
    That Tenn. Magazine has some good recipes !
