Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the bundt pan
2 1/2 cups cola, such as Dr. Pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 to 6 tablespoons cola, such as Dr. Pepper
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Bring the cola to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce down to about 1 1/4 cups, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup in a separate bowl. Add the butter and oil to the remaining cola in the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Add the granulated sugar and stir until it is mostly dissolved. Take off the heat and let cool, then whisk in the sour cream, vanilla and eggs.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cola mixture and whisk until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Set a cooling rack over a parchment-lined baking pan. Invert the cake onto the rack. Poke the cake all over with a wooden skewer, then spoon the reserved cola reduction all over the cake. Let cool completely.
  • For the glaze: Combine the butter, cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of the cola in a medium saucpan and cook on medium low until the butter is melted. Stir to combine, then stir in the confectioners' sugar until incorporated. Add the additional cola, about a half tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is a thick drizzling consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Idahoan Coca-Cola® Cake image

This recipe originally came from one of our favorite Food Network stars, Nigella Lawson. A little alteration here and there (like including Idahoan's Original Mashed Potatoes) to this wonderfully rich cake made with Coca-Cola® and a new favorite was created.

Provided by Idahoan

Categories     Idahoan®

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups Idahoan® Boxed Original Mashed Potatoes, dry
1 stick unsalted butter
8 ounces Coca-Cola® (or Guinness® for an adult cake)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¾ cups superfine sugar
½ cup sour cream
2 medium eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
¾ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the sides and bottom of spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt stick of butter in a large, wide sauce pan.
  • Add cola, cocoa powder and superfine sugar and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk sour cream, eggs and vanilla thoroughly until almost a batter-like consistency and add slowly into the slightly cooled butter mixture.
  • Add dry Original Mashed Potato flakes and baking soda. Stir thoroughly. The batter will have a slightly grainy appearance but don't be concerned.
  • Pour into spring form pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Test center of cake with a wooden toothpick (cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean).
  • Cool and remove from spring form pan. Note: This is a very dark and dense cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and a more consistent texture.
  • Measure your flour correctly to avoid a dry or dense cake. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

The Idahoan Coca-Cola Cake is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy with a delicious Coca-Cola flavor.
