With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

Coca Cola Cake


 This cake recipe has been floating around the internet for years.  I finally took a look at it. I had to switch it up some but, I really liked it. My family loved it. I am going to give you my version here. But for the original one just google Coca-Cola cake. The original cake calls for a spread on frosting but, I prefer a pour on chocolate. I love the way it seeps into the cake and puddles up around the edges.


1 cup of room temperature coca cola

1/2 cup of oil

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

2 cups of sugar

2 cups of self-rising flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 bag of milk chocolate chips

Frosting

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

3 cups of powdered sugar

1/2 cup of coca-cola


In a saucepan mix coca-cola, oil, butter, and cocoa powder and bring to a boil. In another bowl mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Pour the boiling mixture over the flour mixture and beat well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla and beat well. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.

While the cake is baking. Add all of the frosting ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then set aside.

When the cake is done, sprinkle chips onto the hot cake. and pour chocolate over the top.
