Yes, more cake but this is the last one for a few posts. I actually made this cake before I made the Double Layer Chocolate Cake and the Red Velvet one. Monica at Lick the Bowl Good called it Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Coca-Cola Cake. That's a mouthful. I made this for the Twins' baseball coach's birthday and just called it Old Fashion Coca-Cola Cake.
I have to tell you I much prefer this "chocolate" cake over the
On another note: Thanks for your letting me know what books you have read that have been good. I'm starting a list, so that next time I go to the bookstore I'm not wondering around like a big dufus.
Baseball update: The Twins played four baseball games this weekend two on Saturday and two on Sunday. We won all four games! One was a come from behind (by four points)in the last inning to tie the game and then win it in the tie breaker inning. Jalen drove in two runs to tie the score and Devon was supposed to sacrifice bunt to move the runner over but instead he beat out the throw and later scored the winning run. Yay, GO STING! I'm going to try and get a current photo of the whole team and the twins to post.
Hope everyone had a happy and green Irish food filled St. Paddy's Day!
Daddy, I love and miss you. Hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday!!!!

YES! More cake! And it looks so good! You're right, the cinnamon makes this cake. I'm glad you thought it was a home run (pun intended)!
It was fun to make too. I like when the baking soda and cocoa combine with the coke and it all bubbles up. I'm just a kid at heart :-)
Thanks for linking to my blog!
You can never have enough cake! I like the concept of adding coke, what a fun idea.
That's funny, I also have no problem leaving the chocolate in the bowl for my husband to lick, but there are just some things that are impossible to walk away from! This looks like one of those dangerous ones! :)
This moist chocolate cake looks mighty scrumptious!
Cheers,

I wouldn't mind eating cake every day - especially one like this!
What is the official difference between red velvet and chocolate cake?
i'll say it here and now--i shall never tire of cake. further, i shall never turn down a piece of cake. :)
I was totally going to comment earlier, but I started licking my screen, and then I drooled on the keyboard, and it shorted out and well, anyway. Can you move next door? K, thanks!
A big hunk of chocolate cake is exactly what I want right now!
More cake = goodness.
The cake look so moist and the frosting with cinnamon must be amazing!

Ingrid,
I don't have the recipe for snickerdoodle crust. I went to this bakery in Fredericksburg, Texas. The apple pie there had the most amazing, snickerdoodle like crust. http://www.greattowns.com/texas/fredericksburg/fredericksburgpiecompany.html
You can call them and see if they'll give you the recipe!
Sounds wonderful delicious! :)
If I send you some cupcakes will you send me a piece of this cake? pretty please?
Yummy those look so good.
The cake looks delish! Congrats to your boys on the baseball wins! We're anticipating the start of the pro baseball season, but for now hubby is LOVING March Madness! :)

Oh- Books- How did I miss giving you some fun book recommendations? I love to read. Here are a few must reads:
Memoirs of a Geisha (WAY better than the movie)
Honeymoon with My Brother (great story)
Secret Life of Bees
PS I Love You (also way better than the movie)
Love, Rosie (by the author of PS I Love You)
Twilight Series (if you haven't already read)
Angela's Ashes
Water for Elephants
Kitchen Confidential (if bad words don't offend you)
Any of the classics- Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, Sense and Sensibility- I think we often get caught up in the new books and forget to revisit the classics as adults. They are just so good.
There's a few, but I have more. :)
P.S. I love that you made cake again.
