Notes

  • For a Cherry Coke Cake, use Cherry Coca Cola. 
  • Make sure you use full sugar Coca-Cola. Diet soda will not work.
  • If desired, mix 1 cup of chopped, toasted pecans into the frosting. 
  • Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Cake can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature.
