Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 inch spring form pan.

Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl,

Whisk together eggs, sour cream, oil, Coca-Cola and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl.

With a wooden spoon, stir the coca-cola mixture into the flour mixture until just combined, Do not over mix.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes clean, about 55 minutes to 1 hour.

Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, Run a knife around the perimeter of the pan to loosen it from the pan. Then release the sides. Use a spatula to slide the cake from the pan bottom to a wire rack. Let cool completely. That is the hard part!
