I've made that cake before, long time ago. It was a good one. Real crowd pleaser.

A Coca Cola Cake!! Someone made one of those for the Dessert Auction that Joseph's Robotics Club had last night! It went for $20!

I made one dessert, and brought a picture of a Yule Log that the winner could have delivered closer to Christmas. A friend of mine came in about halfway through the Auction, and asked which cakes were mine. I told her and she bid on and won the Yule Log for $19. When the Harvest Spice Roll came up, she was in a bid tussle with three or four people, and she won with a $50 bid!! I could NOT believe she did that. She just said "You made it, so I know it's good!" When they brought it to her, I told her to taste the filling and she LOVED it! She said she was going to slice a little off the end before Thanksgiving! It was a jelly roll style cake, so she could do that and no one would be any the wiser!

I love the recipe. That seems similar to the 7-up cake, if I remember correctly.
