Coca-Cola Carrot Cake

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients together.

Beat the eggs well; add sugar, oil, ¾ cup cola, and vanilla and beat well.

Stir in the dry ingredients until smooth, then add the carrots, nuts and coconut.

Mix well.

Bake in a greased and lightly floured 13 x 9 pan in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until cake tests done.

Remove from oven and prick hot cake all over with a fork, then pour the cola syrup slowly, evenly over the top.

Serve warm or room temperature with lightly sweetened-vanilla flavored whipped cream.

Coca-Cola Syrup: Combine sugar, cocoa, cola, butter and corn syrup in saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Boil, stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Add vanilla extract.

Remove from heat and pour, hot, over hot cake.
