Ever since I was a kid, Coca-ColaⓇ has been part of our holiday. My dad is a huge Coca-ColaⓇ fan so almost every year for Christmas, I bought him something Coca-ColaⓇ related, whether it was a cookie jar or just a pack of his favorite soda in glass bottles. The first year that I moved out of the house, I even got a Coca-ColaⓇ Christmas ornament to hang on my Christmas tree so I could be reminded of him!
This time of year, I feel like I’m always baking. I make Justin’s favorite fudge, bake Christmas cookies with the kids, and everything in between. Recently I found a box of cake mix in the pantry and I figured, ‘tis the season! But I was out of eggs, and had no desire to go to the store just for three eggs. Then I remembered a trick I picked up awhile back- you can use soda in cake mix!
I took this cake a little further than a box mix, though that is what I started with which was a huge time saver. I filled the cake with hot fudge to make it almost like a molten lava cake and I even added a little bit of Coca-ColaⓇ to the frosting to give it a little extra bite. It all came together so nicely and of course, I had to add Coca-ColaⓇ themed sprinkles on top!
Coca-ColaⓇ Molten Lava Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix a box of chocolate cake mix and a 12 ounce can of Coca-ColaⓇ in a medium mixing bowl.
- Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan and place in the oven until fully baked- an inserted toothpick should come out clean. {This took 25 minutes for my cake, but your time may vary based on your oven and your cake pan.}
- Immediately use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake and fill them with warmed hot fudge. Allow cake {and fudge} to fully cool.
- Mix 2 TBSP of Coca-ColaⓇ in with a container of vanilla frosting. Mix well and allow to sit one minute so all the bubbles pop!
- Frost cake and add sprinkles if desired. Cut your cake and enjoy!
This cake was a big hit here and I may have to make it again for my dad this Christmas! If Coca-ColaⓇ is a big part of your holiday celebrations too, be sure to pick up a 35 pack at Sam’s Club for a great price!
