Cola cake is one my most favorite cakes and it gets its name from the aerated cola drink which is used in it. My mom used to make this cake very often for me because I loved it so much, and several times it was also packed for me and my friends whether I was going to hostel or on a picnic or to Pune where I started my career. When I developed the love for baking, this was the first cake which I tried. I am sure many of my friends and cousins also remember tasting this cake. In fact, I had also received several requests for posting this recipe. So here it is…I made it for my daughters birthday yesterday. It was after several years that I tasted this cake again and it got back a lot of childhood memories. As I type this post, I am nibbling on another piece of this delicious cake 🙂
