This Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake is a Southern classic that’s unbelievably moist, rich, and full of chocolate flavor with a hint of sweetness from Coca-Cola. The soda not only adds flavor but also makes the cake incredibly tender. The secret? Pouring a warm Coca-Cola chocolate frosting over the cake while it’s still hot, so it seeps in for extra decadence.
