Okay, confession time: the first moment I ever tasted old-fashioned Southern Coca Cola Cake, I was barefoot in my friend Charlene’s steamy, bustling kitchen, kids running wild through the screen door, and the sun blasting down like it does in July. I’d heard whispers about this cake—how it’s got soda in it, which sounded kinda wild to me—but let me tell you, all those rumors were true.

I don’t even remember where I first got the recipe — probably scribbled on the back of a church bulletin or clipped from a magazine in the checkout line. But it stuck. And now it’s our cake.
