Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor – e.g., chocolate, vanilla, lemon)
- 1 can (12 ounces) soda (use a complementary flavor – e.g., cola for chocolate, lemon-lime or orange for vanilla or citrus cakes)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or citrus zest for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix and the soda. Stir the mixture until it is fully combined and smooth. There is no need to add eggs, oil, or any other ingredients.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. Optionally, top with frosting, whipped topping, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Experiment with flavor combinations like lemon cake paired with lemon-lime soda or chocolate cake with root beer for unique twists.
- Use diet soda for a lower-fat and lower-calorie version of the cake.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with whipped topping or a simple dusting of powdered sugar instead of traditional frosting.
