An Accident Led To Cracker Barrel’s Most Popular Cake
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Double-Fudge Coca-Cola Cake, a chocolate fudge cake served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, is a permanent fixture on the Cracker Barrel menu.
Originally, the dessert was made as a temporary offering, but the cake was such a hit that the company reintroduced it as part of its 40th-anniversary celebration.
Since then, Double-Fudge Coca-Cola Cake, a chocolate fudge cake served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, has remained a permanent fixture on the Cracker Barrel menu.
Cracker Barrel's doubling of the fudge called for in the recipe wasn't on purpose, but a mishap happened — and worked. The cake has since garnered dozens of copycat recipes online.
