Southern Coke Cake With Coca-cola Buttercream

"A new (but nostalgic) recipe on the blog: my version of a traditional Southern Coke Cake with a Cola Italian Meringue Buttercream. The ultimate in childhood memory conjuring birthday cakes but with a spiced vanilla spin instead of the usual cocoa. Fun fact: the first Coke bottling plant in the world was right here in my hometown of #Chattanooga. So it kinda counts as local. Link in profile. #birthdaycake"
