Flying for Coke cake

I just finished the last piece of Coke cake. My mom made it for my birthday. For those of you who have never had a piece, I feel sorry for you. It is divine. Unfortunately, there isn't any left to share with you, but I will give you the recipe. I am sure there is a reduced calorie version, but I refuse to mess with delicious perfection. I will just run an extra mile or two tomorrow.
