Daniels Coco Crazy Cake

Daniel had an idea for a Coco Crazy Cake with cocoa, coconut and coca cola. I said immediately that you couldn't bake a cake with coca cola. However, a quick search on Google proved me wrong. There is especially one recipe with cocoa and coke that is all over and comes from coca colas webpage. In fact they have recipes for salads, chicken and everything you can imagine with coke. Not what I want to start making. But our Coco Crazy Cake is delicious. Its a variation of my basic cake.
COCO CRAZY CAKE
Mix together:
1½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup dried coconut
1 t. baking soda

Add:
1 egg
½ cup oil
½ cup coca cola
½ cup buttermilk (maybe a little more)
Bake in 9" round pan, 350 degrees, approximately 30 minutes
We made a white icing- just boiled water and confectioners sugar.
