*lol* Actually, they're moderately fabulous. Every version I've seen is a chocolate cake, with chocolate icing. You don't REALLY taste the cola.

Urban Legend has it that during WWII, it was a way to make a cake in spite of sugar rationing. The earliest recipe I can find is 1952.

It's sort of a Southern "thang" - so it's not likely to turn up in any of the family stuff that I have at my disposal. Maybe Jerusha has it in an old church cookbook or some such.
