Coca-Cola Carrot Cake

Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour—sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 eggs, large
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 can Coca-Cola
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups carrots shredded
  • 1 cup walnuts—chopped
  • 1 cup coconut, flaked
  • 2 cups heavy cream—whipped
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the dry ingredients.

In a mixer, beat the eggs very well (3-4 minutes). Add the sugar, oil, 3/4 can of Coca-Cola, and the vanilla. Beat well. Mix in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Fold in the carrots and the nuts. Mix just until incorporated.

Pour the batter into a 13-x-9" greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the cake tests done.

During the last 5 minutes of the baking, bring the syrup to a low boil. Remove the cake from the oven, and while the cake is still hot, take a fork and prick holes all over the cake. Pour the Coca-Cola syrup slowly and evenly over the top of the cake.

Serve the cake warm or cold garnished with the sweetened whipped cream.
