How to make the Coca-Cola cake Ina Garten says is 'crazy good' - Insider

I now understand why Garten called Faith's Coca-Cola cake "crazy good."

The author enjoyed her slice of Coca-Cola cake with a glass of soda.

"If this were in my kitchen, I'd keep going back and tasting it to make sure it was OK," Garten told Faith and Gracie. 

And I felt exactly the same after I took my first bite of the Coca-Cola cake. It was light, but moist. While I could taste the sweetness of the Coca-Cola, I loved that it didn't overpower the chocolate, rather, it enhanced the natural flavors.

While I was eating, I was curious to see how else the soda might've affected the texture and flavor of the cake. After doing some research, I read on the official Betty Crocker website that, like any soda, Coca-Cola contains carbon dioxide bubbles that act as a leavening agent, "the element that makes baked goods rise and makes them light and fluffy." I could definitely taste that in this recipe.

I will say that my only criticism was that the marshmallows didn't make as big as an impression me as I expected them to from Faith's description. I didn't really notice any difference between bites of cake that contained marshmallows with those that didn't. If I make this recipe again, I probably won't bother buying them. 

But otherwise, I definitely think this cake is perfect for those who love chocolate, Coca-Cola, and baking desserts that look fancy, but don't take a lot of work.
