1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Cocoa
3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Vegetable oil
3/4 c Coca-Cola

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Beat the eggs well; add sugar,
oil, 3/4 cup cola, and vanilla and beat well. Stir in the dry
ingredients until smooth, then add the carrots, nuts and coconut. Mix
well. Bake in a greased and lightly floured 13 x 9 pan in a preheated
350~F oven for 40-50 minutes, until cake tests done. Remove from oven
and prick hot cake all over with a fork, then pour the cola syrup
slowly, evenly over the top. Serve warm or room temperature with
lightly sweetened-vanilla flavored whipped cream.
Coca-Cola Syrup: Combine sugar, cocoa, cola, butter and corn syrup in
saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil,
stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla
extract. Remove from heat and pour, hot, over hot cake.
