We had this delicious chocolate coca cola cake over the weekend at our family barbecue.
It was a big hit. It’s fudgy and moist and loaded with flavor. It has marshmallows in the batter that melt into the cake. Mmmmmm. This recipe is a winner.
This recipe is very similar to Texas Sheet Cake or Mississippi Mud Cake. It is very dense and full of fudgy chocolate flavor. I also love this recipe, because I already have most all the ingredients for it, in my fridge and pantry.
It definitely feeds a crowd, so it’s the perfect dessert for BBQ’s, work or family parties, or even just to eat and indulge by yourself. We don’t judge you here, because it’s just that good, and we totally understand.
Could I make this recipe into cupcakes?
You could definitely make this recipe into cupcakes. When you bake it, keep the temperature the same, but cook it for about 10-14 minutes less, than you would the cake.
This batter is also a little more sticky so we definitely recommend using cupcake liners, instead of just spraying the pan.
Could I make this recipe using other carbonated drinks?
You could definitely make this recipe using other drinks. Some may not be as strong of a flavor, but you could use:
- Dr. Pepper
- Root Beer
- Pepsi
- Diet Drinks
Those are the drinks we most recommend for this recipe.

How much cocoa goes into the cake itself? I don’t see it in the ingredients.
I believe it’s 1/4 cup of cocoa for the cake.
1/4 cup cocoa in the cake.
I made this last night on a whim… oh my goodness. This is divine!!! Almost like a mix of a mississippi mud cake and a texas sheet cake. Very rich! Definitely going into the mix of favorites!
I don’t understand why it has coca cola in it? Can you do it without it or use something in place of it? Otherwise it sounds really good.
I have seen it made with Dr Pepper.
Hi. I know this isn’t relevant to this recipe, but I really needed to let you know that there is something about your website that always freezes my computer, and it’s a brand new computer. I love a lot of your recipes and go on your website quite a lot. However, it does get a bit frustrating when I have to shut everything down. I just wanted to let you know in case there was something you could do to fix it.
Have you ever frozen it?
Hi Michelle. We have not frozen this cake before. But we have frozen other cakes and they freeze well.
This cake was great,everyone loved it!
I tried this cake as a child in Tennessee when I was young and had to try to make it as good for them as it was when I had it. I have an issue. I am pretty sure I followed the recipe and I used a brand new 9X13 ceramic pan but had to go longer than 30 mins on bale time cause the middle of my cake was still wet. Any ideas on what I did wrong to cause it not to cook in the center in the 30 minute baking time frame ?
