Coca Cola Chocolate Cake For Two Recipe - Glen And Friends Cooking

Yes!!!

[@pattynabozny1503]

I agree!

[@mikerichards6065]

Glen telling you 'it'll be fine' if you substitute ingredients is the best reassurance anyone could hope for. All too many cooks make baking all too intimidating for newcomers and the less confident. Thank-you!

[@stevena.2306]

so true

[@FaerieDust]

Living in a single person household, I definitely appreciate smaller scale recipes! I've never actually had a coca cola cake, but I might give this one a try...

[@joantrotter3005]

I have used a soup mug to make cake for just myself. That might work for half this recipe?

[@TheNickmista]

I definitely find that problem with cakes and pastries. Most dishes that can be refrigerated are fine, but when I make a cake or something stored at room temp I often end up kind of forcing myself to finish it after a few days, so it isn't wasted. Some smaller cake recipes would be great!

[@frankiep1387]

Me too! Living alone and always making too much when I bake.

[@DuelScreen]

It's lovely. The caramel notes are unique. Nothing else tastes quite like a coca cola cake. A local version of this recipe pops up where I live every now and then. It's nice to see Glen has a version.

[@gyl8452]

sorry for being salty, but scaling down any recipe is not rocket science

[@egross7786]

I often use Sprite as a liquid when making yellow cake while camping. Although that's usually using a boxed cake mix. I bake it in a camping dutch oven using hot coals from the campfire.

[@ninabarlevypsy.d.6071]

As an empty nester, more recipies like this would be very welcome! Thanks for a great channel!

“Don’t need dessert for days?” I’ve never imagined anyone ever saying that. The best part of our kids moving out was dessert for days instead of minutes.

[@spaceghost27]

this was always a staple dessert my grandmother made growing up. she was one of the grandmothers that always had cake, no matter what day it was. usually pound cake.

[@SeraphinaPZ]

"It'll be fine", a great mantra for substitutions.

[@Phillerb]

This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing. Please share more of these recipes for two. I'm always hesitant to make a dessert because we only eat them slowly, so this is great!

[@rdyoungster]

I think this would be a great series. I'm single, and while I like to follow along and make some of these things, I find I just can't finish things. Excited to try this.

[@Underestimated37]

Looks amazing! Sadly I don’t have a tiny tin, but maybe it’d make a couple of nice cupcakes! Very tempted to try this with Vanilla Coke, to see what it would do to the flavours!

[@rileys1005]

[@Smokeywolf64]

could always fold your own with some baking paper

You can buy them at bulk barn in Canada for about $5. Or any shop that sells cake decorating supplies.

[@barbarabrewer7086]

I have my grandmothers wnderful scratch German Chocolate cake that is the best I have ever tasted. She had 2 Warm Morning wood or coal burning cook stoves in the early 1900s, up until the Electrifi action of America around 1932, when they had to buy an electric stove to meet the requirements for electricity to be run to their farmhouse north of Memphis, TN. Mother said Big Mama didnt want the electric stove, so moved one of her Warm Morning stoves out onto the large, enclosed back porch, to make room for the new electric stove to be set up, but continues using her newest W.M. stove for ten years, or so, longer. The cookbook that came with that last W.M stove has some wonderful very old recipes that are excellent. Those are wonderful cook books to be on the look out to find.

[@laurietuzzato5501]

Reminds me of the Snackin’ Cakes (size wise) from the ‘70’s & ‘80’s. Perfect for a family of 4. And Vanilla ice cream on the side. 😋😋😋

[@BattlestarCanada]

Stout would be awesome in that! Great idea!

[@rckarrh]

My mom's been making this cake since 1960s, it's wonderful.

I would also love more recipes on "the cake for two" theme. Question: salted or unsalted butter? Being Danish we always use salted butter. But as I have learned (the hard way) that is not the norm elsewhere.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Ah the salted / unsalted butter problem. Many cooks / internet chefs make a lot of noise about this. If this was 1622, 1722, or 1822 when people made butter at home and salt levels varied wildly; not to mention that salted butter often had to be soaked or rinsed to remove salt before it was edible - the argument between salted and unsalted butter was valid. In 2022 when most of us buy commercially prepared butter, salt levels are regulated and the difference between salted / unsalted is negligible. In Canada (and this holds for the USA, and probably Denmark as well) a 1 pound block of salted butter contains 1½ tsp of salt. So for most recipes - this one included - where it asks for 1/4 cup of butter, using salted or unsalted won't make much of a difference in the finished baking: using salted butter would add 1/6 of a teaspoon of salt to the cake, ***Unless of course you are hyper sensitive to salt, or have some ailment that keeps you on a strict no salt diet.

[@ghc7400]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking thank so much for the answer. Now I can make this tomorrow. I have all of the ingredients. Love recipes for singles.

[@nopenope1]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I totally agree, the salt content in butter here is so low I do not change the receipts. Maybe we even have no salted butter, unless special salted ones here' ... usually I have sour cream butter here, which tastes great with Bread, with anything. I do not taste a different to the unsalted 'sweet cream' butter which is a bit harder to get, in a cake. * mild sour butter* direct translation, it's with lactic acid bacteria, not sure if that is similar in US/CA.

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

Loved Glen's answer and it helps me a lot. If it's a large recipe (in U.S.) I'm making and it does not specify if I should use salted/unsalted butter I check to see if salt is an ingredient in the recipe. If it is, I use unsalted butter. As a side note: I am very sensitive to the taste of salt so this may or may not be helpful to you. 😉

The Colombian community where I live sells roasted chicken but marinated in Coke and spices. Never tried it but sounds intriguing nonetheless. Hugs from Chile n.n

[@TamarLitvot]

We get coca-cola chicken from a local, very good Cuban restaurant and I absolutely love it!

Kangaroo roasted in coke is a recipe my mother makes sometimes (we're Australian).

[@RachelleHinrichs]

Coke cake or Coka Cola chocolate cake with coke icing was in the regular rotation in our house growing up. Mom used whatever caramel colored soda she had handy - diet or regular, flavored it didn't matter. Most you can't tell in the final product except for root beer. Now I want Coke cake! Thanks for the memory!

BTW, Coca Cola is my 'only' beverage, you and Julie are not the only people on the planet who do not drink coffee.

[@dianavelavargas845]

Hello Glen, first time here making a cake. My family is a big fan of Dr. Pepper so I will be altering the soda and will be using brown sugar instead of regular. I will see how it comes out. Thanks for the recommendation and recipe.

[@hopecox]

I can't bring myself to heat up an oven for a small amount of cake, cookies brownies. So I'll made a normal amount and freeze half for a later dinner party. However this is a great method for a fresh cake 👍🏻

[@mynameis999]

I buy buttermilk then freeze it in 1/4 cup amounts so have easy portions for use later.

[@dougmpage]

Glen I'm not gona lie! I'm pretty much dickered right now on some Canadian Club which is proudly made in my neighbourhood of Walkerville (Windsor, ON)! But what if I took that left over egg white & whipped it & then folded it in (which I learned from you) would it make my rye & coke a bit more fluffier?

[@ThePixelDreams]

What would happen with Coke Zero? Would the flavour be noticeably different with the sweetener compared to how many fewer calories it is?

[@ReibahDarling]

Give it a try and let us know!!

[@Appaddict01]

Fake sugar always leaves a bad after taste.

[@lassepaulsen8312]

I‘d say the only reason to try is if you only have Coke Zero at your house anyways. Saving about 25 kilocalories on a whole cake doesn’t really make much of a difference.

[@Markephillips77]

What would happen if you used some of the homemade cola that you’ve done before? I wonder if more flavors would come out with that.

[@imogentait5744]

Glen, you read my mind

[@raeraesma]

[@Kinkajou1015]

A little sad Chicken didn't have any screen time after causing you to stop for a moment. Also, saw your comment reply about salted/unsalted butter, I think it could be interesting to do a few small recipes like this with both and see if you and Julie can tell which is which, just to be able to emphasize that it doesn't matter much anymore.

[@axeavier]

It would be interesting to use a cola concentrate like with those sodastream liquids along with the coca cola but thend it'd be too much liquid

[@figmo397]

I was amused at the way the cake teleported into Julie's arms and then teleported back onto the counter.

[@maranscandy9350]

The note of bitters in Dr Pepper or Mr Pibb might add something flavor wise.

[@kellybryson7754]

Can you use flat coke?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Yes you can use flat Coke - the carbonation has zero effect on the outcome of this cake.

[@westislandkev]

Yummilicious

[@wisperone11]

Can you bake this in an air fryer oven?

[@rlwalker2]

Lots of butter. I won't be making this one often BUT I will be making it. Sounds delicious. I might try baking a cake that small in my Instant Pot on the "bake" setting. That would use a LOT less energy. I was going to ask you use grams and milliliters in your recipes, BUT, when I checked I notice you already do. Thanks. I won't complain any time you demonstrate additional "small" or "for two" recipes.

[@JemHadar666]

I wonder if this recipe would work with root beer instead of Coca-cola. Would it change the taste or would it be undetectable?

I wonder, if there's enough acid in say, a sparkling water, to do something similar here. I've got a couple cherry blossom lacroix that would work beautifully against a vanilla cake, I'd think!

[@Glacier_Nester]

Update from future me: it does work! You just gotta add the sugar that would have been in the coca cola you add here, and replace the cocoa powder with extra cake flour if you want vanilla, not chocolate, and you're in business!

Have you ever made old fashion limeade? It’s a sugar solution, lime juice carbonated water over ice.

No mL is a volume measurement and grams is a mass / weight measurement. Completely different.

[@RimeoftheAncientGamer]

So what would happen if you used Coca Cola syrup concentrate instead of bottled Coke? Obviously that would be much sweeter (and you would have to account for the loss of water), but would it impart more Coke flavor?

You could also use a little citric acid rather than the cola.
