Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake & Frosting

My daughter loves to cook and bake. She sends me a lot of recipes and I am able to sample a lot of dishes when we visit. This is a new recipe I had never heard of and she makes it for all special occasions. She is a chocoholic and, I must say, I like chocolates also. I guess she takes after me. I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy the double chocolate tastiness of it.
