Very, very, very sweet. Icing came out almost like a glaze. Mine came out with an almost bread pudding texture- very moist. My kids loved it though- especially the way that the marshmallows browned and tasted like s'mores. :)

Very good and moist.Our friends loved it. Only bad thing was that icing was way to sweet

This is my son's FAVORITE chocolate cake. We all love it. There are different versions out there but this is the one we think is best. Thanks!

I was just researching to post this recipe. I am glad to see it here! It is yummy and I love marshmallows, which makes it even better!! My recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons cocoa in the cake and in the frosting. That is the only difference.

I first made this from a cake cookbook I got when I was in grade school (yes, I got my first cookbook when I was in third grade). I found the idea of putting cola in a cake intriguing, and everyone enjoyed it. It's been years since I made this, I think I will have to make it again!
