Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 (12 oz) can soda (such as Sprite, Coke, or your choice)

Optional Topping

  • 1 can frosting (flavor of your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and the 12 oz can of soda. Stir well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to spread and smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To check if done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan to ensure it sets properly.
  6. Frost (Optional): Once cooled, spread your choice of canned frosting evenly over the top of the cake if desired.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve your delicious, easy 3 ingredients cake to enjoy a quick and delightful treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the soda flavor to complement or contrast the cake mix, such as using cherry cola for a fun twist.
  • The soda adds moisture and sweetness, so no additional liquid or sugar is needed.
  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting and sliding of the frosting.
  • For a lighter option, you can skip the frosting or use a whipped topping instead.
  • Check baking time as ovens vary; start checking at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
