Ingredients

For the base:
- 4 large eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 12 tablespoons Coca-Cola
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 200 g flour
- ½ packet baking powder

For the cream:
- 2 packets vanilla pudding
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- 500 + 100 ml milk
- 200 g butter, at room temperature
- 100 g coconut

For the glaze:
- 1 packet chocolate pudding
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 400 ml Coca-Cola

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Base:
- Start by separating the eggs. In a large bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar until you achieve a smooth and fluffy mixture.
- Add Coca-Cola and continue mixing. This ingredient adds special moisture and a unique flavor to the cake.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa. Then, incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the egg mixture, mixing until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the base mixture to avoid losing air.
- Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper (33x23 cm) and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is perfect.

2. Preparing the Cream:
- In a pot, bring 500 ml of milk to a boil along with the sugar. In another bowl, dissolve the vanilla pudding in the remaining 100 ml of milk.
- When the milk begins to boil, add the pudding mixture and stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until melted and well incorporated.
- Finally, add the coconut and mix well. Let the cream cool slightly before spreading it over the cooled base.

3. Preparing the Glaze:
- In a saucepan, mix the chocolate pudding, sugar, and cocoa. Pour in the Coca-Cola and place over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened.
- Once the glaze is ready, let it cool for a minute, then pour it immediately over the vanilla cream. Quickly level it out for an even appearance and let it cool completely.

4. Serving:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, cut it into portions and serve with confidence. It is a perfect choice to be offered to carolers, but also to be enjoyed with family.

- Serving: This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or warm chocolate sauce. A cup of tea or coffee will also complement the sweetness perfectly.
