Do
you like Coca Cola? I don’t. No, it is not because I believe that Coke is
unhealthy or that it dissolves teeth and bones. I just don’t like the taste.
The same applies also to Fanta. In the past (this means, long, long time ago),
I often drank cola but today I drink it only when there is no alternative. You
wonder now why I am telling you all this? Although I'm not a Coke lover, I was
quite curious when I saw a Coca-Cola cake recipe. And because I like to
experiment and try new things out, I had to bake this cake.
Now
you wonder if the Coca-Cola cake tastes good. The answer is YES...the cake
tastes wonderful chocolaty, it is very moist...so I can only recommend it. I
honestly don’t taste the cola. Here is the recipe!
We need:
For the batter:
|
For the glaze:
|
200
g flour
|
100
g icing sugar
|
200
g sugar
|
2
tbsp Coca-Cola
|
125
g butter
|
25
g butter
|
2
tbsp cacao powder
|
1
tbsp cacao
|
175
ml Coca-Cola
|
|
125
ml butter milk
|
|
1
egg
|
|
½
tsp baking powder
|
|
½
packet vanilla sugar
|
The ingredients are for a loaf pan (length 26 x width 12 x height 7)
What
do we need to do:
Preheat
oven to 170°C degrees.
Place
flour and sugar in a large bowl and mix.
Heat
in a pan 125 g butter, 2 tbsp cacao and 175 ml cola and bring to the boil. Set
aside.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, baking powder and vanilla sugar.
Pour the Coke-butter mixture over the flour mixture and mix. Add the buttermilk-egg mixture and mix everything well.
Grease the form with butter and dust with flour or cover with baking paper. Pour in batter and smooth the surface. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
For the glaze heat the icing sugar, cacao, cola and butter in a pan and stir until you get a smooth glaze. Pour the glaze on the hot cake and let it cool.
Cut cake into pieces and serve.
What about you? Do you like coke? Have you already eaten Coca-Cola cake? Did you like it?
And now I leave of you, because I will be spending today’s holiday outdoors. You should do the same.
