The idea first came to me when my dad asked me if I could make him a cake for a special meeting he was attending. I won&#8217;t bore you will the details, but it was a political party gathering and the idea of Orange Crush immediately came to mind. If you&#8217;re Canadian, you totally know what I am talking about. I first practiced this cake as an Orange Crush cake, so I know that the idea can be used for whichever kind of pop (aka soda) you want to emulate the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Be very careful when cutting the plastic on the bottle. I managed to avoid any bodily harm, only due to Paul&#8217;s insistence that I won&#8217;t be able to film videos if I&#8217;m missing a finger! That pretty much scared me safe. It&#8217;s easiest if you are using a fresh blade of an exacto knife or something similar. The opening you cut in the bottle once you have drained the cola out needs to be big enough to fit your hand inside. I tried to cheat a bit and make the hole smaller, but it doesn&#8217;t work!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other big piece of advice I can give you while making this cake is to NOT drop the bottle before you get it filled with buttercream and cake. Well, pretty much don&#8217;t any cake anytime you&#8217;re making one, but it&#8217;s especially bad in case because your hard work at layering chocolate will shatter. And then you&#8217;ll have to figure out how to get the chocolate out of the hole you made. And then you&#8217;ll have to remelt the chocolate and start your re-coating process again. Not that I would know anything about that. Nah.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The coca cola cake itself is quite tasty, but sort of sticky, which is why I recommend coating your pan in cocoa powder before baking it in the oven. I don&#8217;t usually do this step for my cakes, but I also don&#8217;t usually have a cup of Coke in them either. When I was practicing, the cake stuck to the pan, even in the areas that had been well sprayed with non-stick spray.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Coca Cola Cake (Coke Cake)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>-1 cup (240 mL) Coca Cola<br \/>-1\/2 cup (120 mL) vegetable oil<br \/>-1\/2 cup (120 grams) butter<br \/>-3 Tablespoons (21 grams) cocoa<br \/>-2 cups (400 grams) sugar<br \/>-2 cups (240 grams) flour<br \/>-1 teaspoon baking soda<br \/>-1\/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt<br \/>-2 eggs<br \/>-1\/2 cup (120 mL) buttermilk<br \/>-1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_2177site.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7930\" title=\"Coca Cola Bottle Cake \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_2177site.jpg\" alt=\"Coca Cola Bottle Cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_2177site.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_2177site-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Procedure:<br \/>1.
