Cola Cake with Strawberries & Cream
We Southerners have been eating cola cake for decades. This easy version has strawberries, too. Chill it in the fridge for a dreamy summer dessert. —Peggy Walpert, Fort Worth, Texas

This is so good! I love the strawberries and cream topping! A keeper!
I made some Coke cola chocolate cake. About 5.year ago . I have made Coke cake strawberry& cream and root beer cake. I'm a baker and I have a bakery shop in Naperville IL for 9 year. I make chocolate toffee truffle brownie and espresso brownie . I make any thing with chocolate and truffles and espresso pretty keep with new ideal that help me come up with new flavors
Delicious. Made as is and won't change a thing.
I like that there is a lower amount of sugar in the topping rather than the normal 3-4 cups for normal frosting. (There are other places to reduce the calories if one desires--like lo-fat sour cream and lo fat buttermilk,). I liked the flavor enhancement idea of reducing the cola down to 1 cups. And, NO ELECTRIC MIXER!!! This recipe expresses the know-how of a very talented baker. Thank you Peggy Walpert. I'm looking forward to making this!
