Famous Coca-Cola Cake Recipe

6.5 oz. Cokes - RMKK Companion

The last of the 6 1/2 oz. Cokes.

Baking the famous Coca-Cola Cake reminded me of this 6 pack of Coke bottles that I’ve been saving.

I’ve been holding on to them since the 1990s. Specifically, I’ve kept them because of their value as memorabilia.

I like to remember things from different eras of my life and have saved them because I don’t want this size of Coke to be forgotten.

At the time, I thought the 6 1/2 size bottle had been discontinued.

However, it wasn’t until October of 2012 that the last of the iconic green glass bottles rolled off of the bottling line in Winona, Minnesota.

That is much later than I had thought…approximately 20 years!

Originally, these glass bottles were meant to be returned for deposit and reused. However, with the advent of aluminum and plastic container packaging, the cost of cleaning and reusing glass bottles became prohibitive.

Despite that explanation, I think there could be an additional reason for discontinuing the 6 1/2 oz. size bottle of Coke.

Although 6 1/2 oz is the perfect size for quenching your thirst on a hot afternoon, I think Americans were moving to larger drink sizes.

The 6 1/2 oz. Coke was no longer desirable.

Even though my favorite size of Coke is no longer available, the good news is that it seems I have a valuable vintage Coke bottle!

I’ve discovered that a full 6 1/2 oz. bottle of Coca-Cola was sold for around $2,000. I wonder what they will pay for mine?

Sponge cakes are thought to be the first of the non-yeast-based cakes and rely primarily on trapped air in a protein matrix (generally of beaten eggs) to provide leavening, sometimes with a bit of baking powder or other chemical leaven added as insurance. Such cakes include the Italian/Jewish pan di Spagna and the French Génoise. Highly decorated sponge cakes with lavish toppings are sometimes called gateau; the French word for cake..
