The first references to Coca Cola cakes date back to the 50’s, but the jury is out on exactly where the recipe originated. Some say the company developed it. Some say a home cook invented it. In any case, it’s become a Southern favorite, earning its biggest fame from versions baked at Jestine’s in Charleston and from Cracker Barrel.
