Pretty good, and pretty similar to Cracker Barrel's, but I'll give you a few hints. Surprisingly, we actually don't use Coke in our Coke cake, and you're missing one of the most important ingredients: mini marshmallows.

This is a good chocolate cake, however it isn't as "fudgy', or dense as Cracken Barrel's version. But, if you like chocolate cake, this is a good, moist choice.
