How to Make Cocktail Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the milk and the Coca-Cola until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting (optional).
