How to Make Coca Cola Funnel Cake

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup Coca-Cola until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into a funnel or a squeeze bottle. Create a circular motion in the hot oil to form the funnel cake.
  6. Fry for approximately 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  7. While the funnel cake is still warm, drizzle generously with Coca-Cola syrup (recipe below), top with whipped cream, and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
  8. **Coca-Cola Syrup:**
  9. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup Coca-Cola, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup.
  10. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Let cool slightly before drizzling over the funnel cake.
