This cake is timeless! And the best chocolate cake you’ll ever have! They say it’s even better than the original and I agree! A homemade version of the famous Cracker Barrel restaurant’s Double Chocolate Coca Cola Cake. A copycat that is way better than the real one! A no-fuss chocolate cake with cola that everyone is going crazy about. I have made this many times and I repeatedly get the same reactions from “insanely amazing” to “the best cake I have”! I am a certified chocoholics and this cake is my weakness – pure chocolatey, sort of dense, and kind of fluffy. Serve a slice with some ice cream or whipped cream on top and you are in heaven!
