2 Ingredient Soda Cake Review- DIY Test #12

[@Amanda-vp8ou]

Soda cake has been around since the 70's and they are really good with the right combo of soda and cake. If you use less soda like 9 oz it turns out the best. ♥

[@jenniferedgell4101]

Thanks! I have made a few cakes like this and was wandering if a little less soda would work.

[@TRADERSFRIEND]

Thank you for that info, it is super helpful

[@whitealliance9540]

@@TRADERSFRIEND you can use sugar free selter water as well since the cake is already sweet. Makes for a good cake

While I was at drum corps, one of our volunteers made Gatorade cupcakes. They were incredible. (For those who don’t know drum corps, it’s basically a marching band that competes and tours across the country. Sometimes called “marching band on steroids” as we house in high schools for the entire summer, and perfect our show.)

Just tried the lemon cake with sprite. Actually used a lemon box cake. It wasn’t bad but I personally didn’t care for the artificial lemon flavor of the actual cake mix. Texture was a little gummy once you started chewing but overall it turned out pretty light and fluffy. I would try a different flavor. 9/10 would recommend for the idea of it. 4/10 would probably not recommend the lemon cake unless you’ve tried it before and liked it.

Fun fact: these cake mixes never had eggs in their original formulations. They were added to the recipe as a marketing tactic for housewives to have a true "baking" experience since everyone felt like it was cheating 🙄 So I'm not shocked at all that this worked.

[@daylightbright7675]

You'd be surprised how many inventions fell flat bc they worked too well lol

[@sady1139]

Makes sense, cause there are products like shake and bake and other pancake mix etc companies that you literally just add water and works great!

[@Sai-wf8pz]

Those original formulations are not sold anymore. Current cake mixes need eggs for the emulsification process to work. Eggless cakes lack the proper enzymes and result in very sticky cakes, much like the one David had. They still taste great but the texture is clumpy and sticky and weird.

Human Beings Actually, all boxed cake mixes in my country (India), are very simple to make. You don't need anything of the sort foreigners use, that's not the point of a boxed mix. Ours are vegeterian (probably vegan, actually) and all you add is water. That's it. If I really do have to put in the effort of measuring oil, and eggs, and other stuff, I might as well whip up a whole cake that'd be far superior in taste.

if you use just an 8-oz can of soda instead of a 12-oz bottle, you get a bit more structure in the cake (but it's still moist), and the soda flavor doesn't overpower the cake as much. also as everyone else has been saying, use whipped cream frosting!

[@darkyami12141]

try mixing coco cola with the chocolate cake mixture, it's actually more palpable if you're not a fan of root beer. I one time made a coco cola cupcakes with the cake mixture, but if you want it to be a little less sticky try adding the rest of the ingredients, and instead of using water, I found that mixing heavy whipping cream (or half & half) tones down the flavor of the soda a bit and even makes the consistency less sticky and more like a cake. If you also want to tone down the sugar a bit, adding a couple of spoonfuls of cake flour does help. Just be aware that it can make the cake a little drier, so adding a little extra oil and cream to balance the flour can help. (I mostly eyeball it) The oven will basically bake the soda pretty well so there's not too much of worry for the dairy and soda to mix badly. It's the equivalent of making champagne or rum pastries. Just with soda instead

[@rita_fcortez]

Well... do you know thats not 2 ingredients right? ... I understand the "click bait" but I'm imagining people think a cake mix is one ingredient 😂 And coca cola in a chocolate cake is really nice. but not like that, Try to make a cake from start and use it coca 😊

[@kristinavee1012]

Rita Cortez I mean... if you’re being extremely technical, then it’s not two-ingredient. But because it’s wildly simple and you would personally only need “two ingredients”, it’s a two ingredient cake. This is super simple for people who don’t want a thousand ingredient homemade cake.

Every flavor you tasted after the lemon was progressively more contaminated by remnants of the previous flavors in your mouth and on the spoon. You should taste them again but use a palate cleanser (water is fine), as well as separate utensils for a more accurate judgement.
