Notes

  •  
  • Cola: You'll need almost an entire 12 ounce bottle of coca cola. Also, I recommend using regular, not diet, cola. 
  • Greek yogurt: If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use all buttermilk in this recipe (for a total of 3/4 cup). To make a quick buttermilk substitute, you can use this recipe.
  • This cake tastes best after sitting for at least an hour. I like to make it either earlier in the day or the day before I plan to serve it. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
