Preheat oven to 350. Combine all cake ingredients except Coca-Cola into the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl. Using the stand mixer or a hand mixer, blend at low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Then beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Mixture should be light and fluffy.
Add coca cola and fold in with a spatula.
Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
When the cake is completely cooled, make the frosting. Combine all frosting ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl. Using the stand mixer or a hand mixer, blend at low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Then beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
Frost the cake. When you are read to serve, slice it and top each slice with a maraschino cherry.

For a Cherry Coke Cake, use Cherry Coca Cola.
Make sure you use full sugar Coca-Cola. Diet soda will not work.
If desired, mix 1 cup of chopped, toasted pecans into the frosting.
Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Cake can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature.
