"Chocolate will always be a top-tier dessert ingredient. We've been adding this universally-loved creation to sweet treats for over 300 years, and it's clear to see why. Chocolate brings richness, sweetness, and indulgence. Put simply, it makes everything better. So it's no wonder that there are a seemingly endless array of chocolate-based desserts made in all corners of the world."
"This old-fashioned Southern cake combines the unlikely duo of chocolate and Coca-Cola, creating a sweeter, stickier version of your average chocolate sheet cake. The chocolate flavor comes from cocoa powder, while buttermilk keeps the sponge moist, and the acidity of the cola gives it a wonderfully tender texture. Some recipes also feature mini marshmallows, which are stirred right into the batter before baking. For the topping, there's a glaze-like frosting, made with butter, cocoa powder, and more cola."
Chocolate has been used in desserts for more than 300 years, providing richness, sweetness, and indulgence. Classic chocolate treats such as cake, brownies, mousse, and ice cream remain popular, while numerous retro chocolate recipes have declined in visibility. Retro chocolate desserts can evoke childhood nostalgia or present new flavor experiences. Many of these recipes retain qualities that suit modern kitchens and palates. Coca-Cola cake exemplifies a retro favorite: a Southern sheet cake that pairs cocoa powder and cola with buttermilk for moisture, sometimes includes mini marshmallows in the batter, and is finished with a cola-infused glaze.
