We've done the chicken in coke in the slow cooker and it was yummo
Luke was asking me yesterday if I could make it with Vanilla Coke next time! Tried to explain that its not the flavour so much but what the coke does when it cooks... the logic of a 10yr old sometimes is too hard to oppose though... so next time we cook with Vanilla coke
OK girls.... now its time to post both recipes, thanks
Cai - would LOVE your recipe for the coke in ham, and Sal... you'd better post the cake one before we all coming looking for you
1 1/3 Cups flour
3/4 Cup plus 1 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 Cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 Tbs cocoa powder
3/4 Cup Coca-Cola
8 or 9 inch springform pan lined with foil to prevent the batter leaking, then greased
Preheat the oven to 350 F and put in a baking sheet at the same time.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla in a measuring cup. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter, cocoa and Coca-Cola, heating gently. Pour into the dry ingredients, stir well with a wooden spoon, and then add the liquid ingredients, beating until everything is blended.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake on the warm sheet for 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Leave to stank for 15 minutes in the pan before unmolding. Then unclip, unwrap and turn out onto a wire rack, making sure you 've got a sheet of newspaper or something underneath the rack to catch any icing that drips through.
Sift the confectioners sugar and set aside for the moment. In a heavy bottomed saucepan combine the butter, Coca-Cola, and cocoa and stir over a low heat until the butter has melted. Remove from he heat, add the vanilla, and spoon in the sifted sugar, beating as you do so, until you've got a good, spreadable, but still runny icing.
Pour this icing over the cake, while the cake is stillw arm and leave till cool before transferring to the plate on which your serving it.
I would assume that confetioners sugar would be icing sugar. I hope this is the same recipee, either way it sounds devine
But as I am NOT a cook whats Butter milk and could I just use normal milk
I remember someone on either Ellen or The View made this a few mths ago and said to make slices into the cake before icing it ( P***k it with a knife or fork all over ) as this way the runny icing seeps into the cake aswell...
i googled something about the coke cake last night (very impatient) and apparently if you have no buttermilk you can substitute a bit of low fat milk with lemon juice - not sure the ratio, but maybe google it...
You can buy buttermilk in the dairy section of most supermarkets. I have done the lemon juice thing beofore and it worked fine, i have also just used regular milk, but buttermilk gives a yummy texture and slightly different flavour.
Thanks for finding the recipe MRSB26. And yep confectioners sugar is icing sugar.
