It must be a Filipino thing?...not sure. We marinate pork in sprite and some other stuff of course and for the most part, these are 'barbecue' or 'grilled' pork dishes. Or you can bake them too. I guess it helps in tenderizing?...again, not sure. :-)Joy Page Manuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869379846706830802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065871416088720675.post-69492177115937112062011-03-03T09:36:45.437-08:002011-03-03T09:36:45.437-08:00It is easier, I made a cake from scratch once and ...It is easier, I made a cake from scratch once and it wasn't that great.

Probably have it in some church cookbook or another around here.

I blame my constant sleep deprivation for forgetting to say that.

As far as coke cake, I know it sounds weird but it is a fairly common Southern American recipe, as is 7-Up poundcake. What can I say? We love our sodas!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296776593284879087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065871416088720675.post-61417339169090415542011-03-02T21:55:35.875-08:002011-03-02T21:55:35.875-08:00You know, our Coke tastes different over here in O...You know, our Coke tastes different over here in Oz. Something about being made with cane sugar (which we have in abundance), and not corn syrup (which we don't). Not that it would make any difference to your recipe...just a weird fact for you. :) I might try the cake sometime...but I won't tell anyone what's in it until they taste it. :)Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761923706880008436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065871416088720675.post-8668222641065537752011-03-02T20:52:38.560-08:002011-03-02T20:52:38.560-08:00I made a chocolate cherry coke cake for the 5th gr...I made a chocolate cherry coke cake for the 5th grade baking contest now that I think about it. It is a very moist but not goopy cake. The entire meal took one can of coke. 1/2 C for the cake, 1/3 C for the frosting and then whatever was left over went into the chicken. The kids and Dh liked everything, the cake was a HUGE hit. The chicken was fine, but not something I'd probably do again as we actually very rarely have coke in the house. I had an upset stomach yesterday so I asked Dh to stop and get me some. I have other chicken prep methods I like just as well or better.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296776593284879087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065871416088720675.post-64212011423100148252011-03-02T17:51:50.103-08:002011-03-02T17:51:50.103-08:00Okay...cooking with Coke definitely counts as weir...Okay...cooking with Coke definitely counts as weird. :) <br /><br />How did the family react to the meal? <br /><br />The cake sounds interesting...I might have to try it.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761923706880008436noreply@blogger.com
