CHOCOLATE CHERRY COLA CAKE



Chocolate Cherry Cola Cake image

I love to celebrate birthdays with the crew and my bandmates. When we're on the road, it's nice to have the band family celebrate. Jimi's birthday falls at the end of October, and I sometimes make this silly chocolate cherry cola cake for him, decorating the top with chocolate cherry cordials or gummy candies. I always let him choose what he's got a hankering for, and it's often this.

  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
