Description

This easy and versatile soda cake recipe uses just two main ingredients: a box of yellow cake mix and a can of lemon-lime soda or cola. No eggs, oil, or milk are needed, making it a quick and fuss-free dessert perfect for any occasion. The batter comes together smoothly and bakes into a moist, tender cake with a light crumb. Customize the flavor by swapping the cake mix and soda to create your favorite combinations, such as chocolate cake with cola or cherry soda for a fun twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (12 oz) lemon-lime soda or cola of choice
  • Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, pour the dry yellow cake mix. Add the entire 12 oz can of lemon-lime soda (or your choice of soda). Stir gently until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well combined, without any lumps.
  3. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform thickness and even baking.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the baking pan before slicing. Serve as is, or optionally top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
