    1. I'm sure it would. It's the combination of the fizz and sugar, I think.

  4. Oh goodness, a guilty pleasure! I think the word ‘Diet’ will be removed from your vocabulary once you try this. Haha! Actually, I think this cake is one of the best comfort foods during our down moments. Who needs to diet when a coca cola cake can make you happy and forget all your troubles?
