Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake
Home » COOK » Recipes » Baking » Cakes »Another way to use Coca-Cola as an ingredient, this time in chocolate cake! The Coke gave the cake a fluffy light texture, and it was almost gooey in the middle – I think next time I would add some chopped nuts.
I tweaked a recipe that I found on the Coca-Cola UK website, which uses Diet Coke, and also has a chocolate topping too – but I didn’t feel that there was a need for the topping, as the cake was delicious just as it was. You have to mix some of the ingredients in separate bowls before combining together, but it was simple enough to make, and I know that it went down when I served it to family and friends at the weekend! I even turned half the batter into Cherry Coca-Cola Cupcakes!

Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 125g self-raising flour
- 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 75g soft brown sugar
- 75ml buttermilk
- 1 medium egg
- ½tsp vanilla extract
- 75g unsalted butter
- 100ml Coca-Cola
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4 and lightly
- Grease a 25cm, rectangular ovenproof dish (or baking tin)
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar into a bowl
- Beat the buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract together in another bowl
- Melt the butter either in a saucepan over a gentle heat (or in a bowl in the microwave). Remove from the heat and stir in the Coke.
- Whisk the butter and Coke mixture into the dry ingredients
- Add the buttermilk mixture and mix together thoroughly
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared dish or tin and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake
- Leave to cool for about 15 minutes before turning onto a rack to cool completely
- Cut into pieces – I got about 12 from this mixture
