Weekend Treat {Coca-Cola Cake}

For some reason I was thinking about my 6th birthday recently & remembered the delectable Coca-cola cake my mom made me and my twin sister. I was in love. However, I'm not sure I have had it since & decided it was time to resurrect the chocolaty moist goodness that is the coke cake. David and I ate of it all week. Although the process is slightly weird, it was pretty easy. But with 3ish cups of sugar and 3 sticks of butter, its definitely not your every day dessert, but don't be scared, it's worth it.

I'm headed off to Birmingham for my bro-in-law's high school graduation. {psst he is the valedictorian! love you benny-boo!} Ellie's Run this morning was awesome. I'll give the recap and pictures early next week. Have a great weekend blog friends!
