Coca-Cola Marshmallow Chocolate Cake

I made this wonderful cake 7 years ago. It took me 7 years to finally found this recipe that I’ve been looking for that felt like forever. One of my friends love this cake. I was so happy when I found it.

Turned out I emailed the screenshots of the recipe to someone when I was reminded on one of my memories on Facebook. It’s amazing how I ended looking back on one of the memories and finding it through someone asking me to email it for them in the comments.

Here is my cake of 7 years ago:

An oldy but a goody with the pecan nuts on top. I replaced the pecan nuts with desiccated coconut, in the frosting.
