Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 can (12 oz) soda (flavor depends on cake mix—see notes)
- Nonstick spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or round cake pans with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix with the entire 12 oz can of soda. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain, ensuring an even texture.
- Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that the cake is fully baked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before serving. You may frost the cake if desired or enjoy it plain for a simple treat.
Notes
- Use lighter sodas such as Sprite or 7UP for vanilla or white cake mix to maintain a delicate flavor.
- Darker sodas like Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper pair best with chocolate cake mix for a rich taste.
- This recipe requires no eggs, oil, or water—just soda and cake mix.
- For making cupcakes, reduce the baking time to 15–20 minutes.
