Coca-Cola Cake Donuts

I've actually never had the famous Cracker Barrel Coca-Cola Cake, but years ago, after a friend gave me her recipe, I used to make a homemade Coca-Cola Cake that was AH-MAZING!. It was a basic chocolate cake using Coca-Cola for the liquid and then iced with a sweet, chocolaty, Coca-Cola icing that has a very distinct flavor and really made the cake outstanding. Don LOVED it! I don't know why it's been years since I made it, and I really don't know why Don, out-of-the-blue, asked me to make it again recently, but I'm glad he did.

Of course, I wanted to indulge him, but I really didn't want to make a ginormous sheet cake for just the two of us, so I turned to google and found a recipe by

st the two of us, so I turned to google and found a recipe by

The 350 Degree Oven on the Coca-Cola site for these donuts. I did change up the technique just a bit to yield the texture I prefer in a baked donut, but this recipe is very simple to make. It is much like making muffins, however, you will need a Donut Pan to get the shape just right
