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

Frosting Ingredients:
1 stick butter (softened)
2 1/2 Tbspns. cocoa powder
6 Tbspns. cream or milk
