How to Make Soda Cake

Ingredients

• 1 box cake mix
• 1 can (12 ounces) soda

Editor’s Tip: This recipe also works with a can of club soda or sparkling water.

Instructions

Step 1: Check out the box

Follow the directions on the box mix to preheat your oven to the proper temperature. Then, grease a cake pan with cooking spray or line muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2: Make the batter

In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix and soda for two minutes, either by hand or with an electric mixer.

Step 3: Bake the cake(s)

Pour the batter into the cake pan(s) or divide the batter evenly among the cupcake cups. Follow the directions on the box mix for cooking times.

Step 4: Decorate

Once the cake is cool, decorate with your favorite buttercream icing. (Or, you know, your canned frosting .)
