I would have wanted some flavor from that. I have had frosting like that before and I must say that I really like it.

You won't taste the Coke per say but it does add to the fluffiness of the pancake. <br /><br />I think the frosting behaved as it would have then. They really didn't store cakes in the fridge either. The frosting would have been meant to simulate a marshmallow type flavor and would more likely covered the entire cake like a baked Alaska type covering.<br /><br />The corn syrup in Coke made it a simple baker's choice to substitute as a flavored syrup when baking. The carbonation was often ignored as beneficial. Frequently, since Coke was a luxury, you would try to make something else with it if it went flat or someone didn't finish one.

Old timey recipes like this are always difficult to judge based on me making a mistake or the original writer intending on it ending up that way, you know what I mean? So having more data is always helpful.<br /><br />You had me at spice cake. So cool that you've got a family dessert that's been passed down for so long!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239226134505976077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278385202778793465.post-10897830938064588892017-06-20T12:32:10.714-07:002017-06-20T12:32:10.714-07:00More embarrassing errors.

I have to re- enter my comment, because I published it with tty<br />Ographic errors, and could not fix it. <br />Making the cola cake sounds like a fun process, and I am intrigued by the frosting recipe. I have never had cola cake. I am game to try this recipe. Could one scoop the frosting on to individual slices of cake, and try storing it in a bowl in the refrigerator?<br />Our family bakes "Aunt Eva's cake" for special occasions. It is a spice cake, and I don't know if it is umusual. I think it dates to the 1920's or 30's and handed down through the generations.<br />Thank you for another educational and fun to read blog post.<br /><br /><br /><br />Evergreen_ag2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/06308490426583171337noreply@blogger.com
