This Double Fudge Coca Cola Cake tastes even better than the one at Cracker Barrel and is easy to make since it starts with a boxed cake mix!

DOUBLE FUDGE COCA COLA CAKE

chocolate fudge cake mix

(4 oz) (small box) instant chocolate pudding

eggs

Coca-Cola

salted butter, ((1/2 cup))

tbsp unsweetened cocoa

heavy cream

sugar

tsp vanilla extract

pecans

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Spray 9 x 13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, stir together cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, oil and Coke for about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake according to package directions (usually 35-40 minutes). Note: The cake will have a slight dip in the center. This is normal. When it is done, a toothpick will come out clean.

For the cake:

In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, start melting butter.

Add in cocoa powder and heavy cream (or milk, if using) and stir.

Then whisk in confectioners sugar. Stir briskly with a whisk to get all the lumps out.

Take mixture off heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Pour frosting over cake and evenly spread it out over cake.

Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using. I think this cake is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.&nbsp;

How to make: Cracker Barrel Double Fudge Coca Cola Cake

Crack open a can and make this Coca Cola Cake! Soft, chocolatey cake meets rich, fudgy icing in this classic southern dessert made with a not-so-secret ingredient. Recipe includes a how-to video!

Coca Cola Cake

oz Coca Cola (1 ½ cups (354 milliliters))

unsalted butter ((226 grams), cubed)

natural unsweetened cocoa powder ((50 grams) see note)

all-purpose flour ((250 grams))

cornstarch

baking soda

baking powder

salt

sour cream ((190 grams))

eggs (lightly beaten. room temperature preferred)

vanilla extract

unsalted butter

Tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder

sugar ((500 grams))

Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and spray a 9x13” (23x33cm) baking pan with baking spray.

Combine 12 oz cola, butter, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized saucepan and heat over medium-heat until butter has melted (the mixture may separate in the saucepan, that is OK). Bring to a boil, stirring frequently then remove from heat and allow to cool while you prepare your dry ingredients.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Pour cola mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.

Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and stir again until the batter is smooth.

Pour batter into prepared 9x13 (23x33cm) baking pan and transfer to 350F (175C) oven. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean. Baking time given is for a metal baking pan, glass or ceramic will take longer to bake (approximately 35-38 minutes).

While cake is in the oven or is cooling you can prepare the frosting.

Pour cola into a clean medium-sized saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it has reduced in volume so that it is between ⅓ and ½ cup (79-118ml). You will need to carefully pour the cola into a heatproof liquid measuring cup to check if it has been reduced enough.

Once cola has been reduced enough, add butter and salt and continue to cook over medium/low heat until the butter is melted (if the mixture looks a bit separated this is fine, it will come together in the next step).

Remove from heat and add cocoa powder, whisking until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and whisk again until frosting is smooth and lump free and immediately pour/spread over warm cake.

Allow cake to cool and frosting to set before slicing and serving. This cake is great served by itself or with vanilla ice cream!
