Author Notes
We wanted to make a cola cake for a friends’ birthday, but the internet only had recipes for chocolate cakes with cola in them. This is based on a vegan gingerbread recipe and adapted to add flavours from cola — vanilla, cinnamon, lemon, along with the cola hit that comes from the soda syrup.
We ad-libbed an icing made from (vegan) butter, icing sugar, lemon juice, a bit of water and cola syrup, which worked well. —Yuckoryum
