On Family Day weekend it was too cold to go outside so I asked Princess Destructo what we should do. "Let's bake cookies mommy!" After scouring the pantry for leftover Christmas baking items, I came up with two cake mixes and little else. I had heard from friends that chocolate cake could be made with diet cola instead of the standard 3 eggs + oil + milk stated on the package. Since I had white cake mixes and didn't want to give my kid chemicals in diet pop, I decided to use cream soda. The result was a fluffy cake that crumbled a bit more than the ones using the usual recipe, I wasn't silly enough to try and get it out of the pan to cool completely. We ate it warm with CREAM CHEESE ICING and frozen strawberries. I would not try this with a cake I wanted to use for a fancy occasion or one that needed to be decorated, but it was tasty enough to please a three year old and a grumpy hubby. The next time I try this it will be with the other white cake mix in my pantry and a can of sprite.
Cream Soda Cake
- 1 can of cream soda
- 1 white cake mix
What I did:
In a large bowl, pour the contents of your cream soda can over the dry cake mix. Stir just enough to break up the lumps, over mixing will deflate the bubbles.
Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan or 2 - 8 x 8 pans.
Bake 25 minutes in a preheated 325 degree oven .
