What can be easier than a doctored cake mix for a classic coco cola cake or coco cola cookies to make in a hurry for birthdays, potlucks, or because you're craving these vintage delicious easy recipes?

The cookies are just two ingredients and the coca-cola cake has an additional 4 ingredients to add, super easy and fast to make this delicious decadent classic cake from the 1950s.

The cake first appeared in a cookbook in the 1950s and was claimed to be invented using this cola in cakes in the Southern part of the United States.

This coca cola cake was a trend in several articles in the 1990s and even became a favorite on a popular Cracker Barrel menu back in the 1990s.

Not only easy but the delicate flavor the soda pop adds is delicate and gives it a nice texture.

Using only two ingredients for making the coca cola cookies is another wonderful recipe that the kids absolutely can never get enough of, so for all the busy folks out there these are two winners for baking in a hurry!

I love doctored cake mixes, they really make baking fun and foolproof not having to worry about making a mistake and forgetting any ingredient!
