Coney Island
My grandson, Spencer, was an inspiration for this recipe. When my little granddaughter was born, we went to Coney Island in Ft. Wayne and enjoyed their original coney dogs and chili. This place has been around for 100 years and is an institution. We sipped Coke through a straw out of a glass bottle.
It was a trip back in time.
This is my version of Cherry Coke Cupcakes.
Cherry Coca-Cola Cupcakes
The original version of this cake is made from scratch, and it is an old Southern dessert. This recipe is easy to make and looks amazing when it is done. You can vary the kind of Coca-Cola that you add, so it is also flexible. This recipe is a combination of recipes and tips I read on line for making a Coca-Cola cake from a box cake mix.
There are "copycat" cake mixes from scratch trying to duplicate Cracker Barrel's Double Chocolate Fudge Coca-Cola Cake. For an interesting history by Nora Zelevansky's read : Cracker Barrel's Coca-Cola Cake History

- 1 box of chocolate cake mix, I used a dark chocolate
- 1-12 oz. can of Cherry Coca-Cola
- 2 egg whites
Stir the ingredients together and bake according to the directions on the box.
One of the recipes I saw was easier. It did not call for the egg whites. However, adding the egg whites makes the mixture come together better.
I used Cherry Coke. Some recipes called for regular Coke or Diet Coke.
then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-23 minutes.
I used was a tub of prepared frosting with chocolate chips in it.
Top with a maraschino cherry.
I took some of these delicious treats to the work site where
my brother is building his log house.
It is progressing nicely.
Time for a Cherry Coca-Cola Cupcake break.
