This cake was a flop. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry cola, but I have to say, this cake was surprisingly good. The cake itself was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was light and fluffy. The cherry cola flavor was definitely there, but it wasn't overpowering.
