Idahoan Coca-Cola® Cake Recipe

Idahoan Coca-Cola® Cake Recipe

  • 2 cups Idahoan® Boxed Original Mashed Potatoes, dry
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces Coca-Cola® (or Guinness® for an adult cake)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • Frosting:
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the sides and bottom of spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Melt stick of butter in a large, wide sauce pan.
  3. Add cola, cocoa powder and superfine sugar and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk sour cream, eggs and vanilla thoroughly until almost a batter-like consistency and add slowly into the slightly cooled butter mixture.
  5. Add dry Original Mashed Potato flakes and baking soda. Stir thoroughly. The batter will have a slightly grainy appearance but don't be concerned.
  6. Pour into spring form pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Test center of cake with a wooden toothpick (cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean).
  7. Cool and remove from spring form pan. Note: This is a very dark and dense cake.
  8. Frosting: The cream cheese should be at room temperature. Add cream and powdered sugar and mix in a food processor or with a large whisk. Adjust powdered sugar and cream to ensure a nicely thick frosting that is still spreadable.
  9. Frost just the top of the cake once it's unmolded and serve chilled. This cake is even better the next day!
