Cracker Barrel Coca Cola Cake


Tonight we had our Mom's Night Out with MOPS and our theme was Christmas in July. So we all brought special Christmas themed dishes. It was a lot of fun! Our host even decorated her house up for the occasion.

I decided to make Cracker Barrel Coca Cola Cake. It's one of my favorite cakes and very easy as well.

Sorry the picture isn't the best. I hated to cut a piece before I took it to the get together. So I took a picture of it whole. It is very good though!

Cracker Barrel Double Fudge Coca Cola Cake

1 C. Coca-cola
1/2 C. oil
1 stick Margarine
3 Tbsp. cocoa
2 C. sugar
2 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 C. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation:

In a sauce Pan, Bring Coca-Cola, Oil, Margarine, and cocoa to a boil. In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour and salt. Pour into the boiling liquid and beat well. Add the eggs, Buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into a greased and floured sheet cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Frosting

That is a good recipe.

Recipes that make me think of Christmas... mmm....

Quick Chocolates
1/2 bag semi sweet chips
1/2 bag butterscotch chips
1 cup cashews (or favorite nut)
12 oz. bag crispy chow mien noodles

In a big bowl, toss together the noodles and nuts, set aside.
In a med. microwave bowl, melt the chips together. Stir well to blend.
Pour over noodle/nuts. Stir and toss until evenly coated. It is okay to break up the noodles some as you mix.
Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Once hardened, store in air-tight containers.
You can also use all semi-sweet chips for a more dark chocolate version.

Cheery Cherry Cookies
use your favorite shortbread recipe. Shape dough into balls (about a tbs.). Press 1/2 a maraschino cherry on the top. Bake until the edges just start to get golden.
[sorry for the imprecise recipe but I can't find my regular one]
Jenny,
Both of those sound yummy! My kids love cherries so I bet they'd like those. I made something like the quick chocolates one time for christmas. They were yummy!
Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda
Hi Amanda. Thanks for joining us at Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. My Great Aunt had a similar recipe for Coca Cola Cake. The cake always reminds me of her and fond memories. Thanks for helping bring her to my mind today. I enjoyed looking through your blog.Faith Family and Food... sound like all the stuff I care about, as well.
Mmmmmmmmm!!!!

That sounds yuuuummmmy!
Now- can you taste the Coca Cola? What does it do?
Astrid,
I can't taste the cola in it and the kids kept asking me why it doesn't taste like coke. LOL I'm not sure what it does for it. It is a very good and rich cake though!
God bless,
Amanda

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai

A Civil War Recipe..... Oatmeal Pie

Princess came home with an assignment to to a Civil War project. There were several options but she and I always gravitate to the ones that involve cooking. So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects? We looked online and found many different recipes. I wanted one that used ingredients I already had on hand and hopefully one that would be a bit tasty. I finally found a forum where people were sharing Civil War recipes and someone had shared one for Oatmeal Pie from Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently, during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply. So oatmeal was subbed for pecans to make a sort of mock pecan pie. This recipe is very tasty and really easy. It does remind me of a pecan pie, but at the same time a little reminiscent of an apple crisp because of the oatmeal and the cinnamon. Very delicious! I'm hoping her class really enjoys it. She said th
