Who would not like to have something sweet during their day? Especially after lunch or dinner for dessert. In this recipe, we are learning how to make a special cake made with Coca Cola.

Many people love the taste of Coca Cola and would like to integrate it in many of their recipes. This cake is full of flavours. So as not to have only the taste of Coca Cola, we combined many ingredients with it. On the top of these ingredients, we have cinnamon, vanilla and cocoa powder. This mix makes this cake very special and tasty. In addition to this, the texture of this treat is quite indescribable. The cake without the glaze is spongy, fluffy, light and soft, With the glaze on top it becomes moist enough. The glaze also accentuates the tastes of our cake. The pecans in the glaze create crunchiness which brings balance to our soft cake.
