6 Flavors, 2-Ingredient SODA POP CAKE | Does It Taste Like Coke?

[@kateb3777]

[@denasewell]

Nowadays many people are vegan or vegetarian...but I grew up where my G-Ma would brine ribs or pork (for pulled pork) in Dr.Pepper or Mr. Pibb (a brand in the south almost the same) overnight and I think the soda does something to tenderize and flavor the bbq. I love Dr. Pepper as well. I made my daughter vegan BBQ using plant-based meat substitute and bake tofu using Dr.Pepper it was surprisingly good

[@z6886]

Dr pepper is the first soda I can remember trying. Been my favorite ever since.

[@shannon9009]

This is how I do quick and easy birthday cakes when I don't have time to bake. The soda flavors are less pronounced if you use chocolate cake mix, but sometimes mixing them so the flavors mesh well is fun too. Strawberry soda in lemon cake mix is pretty good.

For the citrus sodas, I would add fruit zest to the cake mix to give their flavor a boost. Orange zest in the Crush cake, lemon zest in the 7up and mountain dew cakes.

[@lilhypnotique]

Or a little lemon extract

[@KassMcCormack]

Back in college when I baked more often I would use 7up in place of water when I made the box mix because it made it moister and fluffier without messing with the flavor. Any time someone would ask I'd always swear by it.

[@deanie228]

I wonder what the other funky, fun Mt. Dew flavors would taste like with the cake mix? Like, the Flamin' Hot Mt. Dew or the Major Melon Mt. Dew! Also, there's a "mystery" Fanta flavor called "What The Fanta" that's a bright blue color...those would be so fun to try!

I've got an old recipe from my mom for Coca-cola Cake. It doesn't taste like Coke. It's a chocoholic's dream. It's chocolaty, rich, and moist. And the icing that goes on top is even more decadent. It's so moist that you can't make it as a layer cake. It has to be baked in a lasagna pan. The recipe for the icing calls for chopped pecans or walnuts, but I don't use them when I make it. I don't make it for myself; it's too much for just one person. I would only make it for parties or other gatherings. The problem is that too many people have nut allergies. So I leave the nuts out. Those who've had it before with the nuts in never complained about my leaving that ingredient out. They just oohed and aahed over the richness of the cake.

The cake mix is 15.25 oz. because once you add the wet ingredients you should have 1lb of cake batter. Baking mixes are probably one of the only products that have remained consistent over the years as far as size goes. All because of baking’s precision of ingredient quantity and ratio.

[@lsmmoore1]

Yep. You can't hide recipes going wrong, nor can you hide changes in ingredient recommendations to account for shrinkage. So they are forced to keep sizes consistent.

[@lovesamc]

Wait are you saying they’ve always been 15.25 oz? Because they used to be 18.25 oz up until a few years ago.

[@rocksfire4390]

@@lovesamc depends on the type of mix, the vanilla one is 15.25, white is 16.25. the only real picture i can find of vanilla a few years ago is at 15.25 also, at least according to the images i'm finding from blogs posting stuff in 2019. i can't seem to find any past then. i'm sure it has to do how exact baking has to be to get the same results. clearly shrinkflation is a real thing, but doesn't look like it with the vanilla/white cake mix version at least...i haven't looked at the others. would be pretty noticeable to adjust cake mix sizes because the amount of liquids would change to super weird measurements.

[@lovesamc]

@@rocksfire4390 I have seen some that are 16.25 but I think they are mostly 15.25 now, at least for the popular name brand ones. I know my grandma has some old recipes that call for cake mixes and we are needing to adjust those now because they are no longer 18.25. We didn’t even realize the difference at first until we started baking things. But, as it’s been stated before, baking is so precise so I’m hoping things don’t get smaller! 😂

There's a cookbook that called the "cake Dr", and it has hundreds of ways to use boxed cake mixes with other ingredients. I first learned of the 7 Up cake when I was a teenager. When I was older, someone I knew made a chocolate cake with Coke. I'm more of a dump cake person..but I don't take a lot of time layering. I dump each ingredient in, spread it out, and throw the whole thing in the oven.

I used to make these all the time as a teenager. My favorite combo was strawberry cake made with sprite. Cheap, quick, and vegan if you get the right cake mix.

[@rtyria]

Always thought of these as "dump cakes" as in you dump all the ingredients in together (no layering) in the same pan you bake it in, kinda mix it together and then bake it. We would take these camping whenever we had access to an oven (even a dutch oven works). My favorite was spice cake mix and dr pepper. It is very sweet and sticky. Great for camping though.

[@tammysmith6290]

I love how you did the retro feel when displaying just the soda and cupcakes. Awesome effect. Yes, I like Dr Pepper.

[@jaxiebeat9802]

If someone doesn't like soda, you can use any carbonated water (club soda). The cake won't rise as much as a regular cake or a canned soda mix cake would but it doesn't ruin the flavor of the cake mix and the cake is still moist. If you love lemon flavor, add 7-UP to a lemon cake mix. WOW! So good!

I’ve made dump cake for years. It’s the favorite birthday cake, topped with ice cream. Cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, chocolate cake mix, two sticks melted butter. It’s like Black Forest cake, but it’s goopy and amazing, especially topped with vanilla ice cream while still really warm.

I do love the taste of soda pop when added to a cake mix. So much more flavorful than plain old water. Also, If you try mixing a liter of Sprite with some orange sherbet in a punch bowl - makes a punch perfect for just about any occasion.

(I topped the brownies with bananas foster and it was great, if I made it again, I’d add ice cream for a banana brownie extravaganza)

[@cherylchristian5673]

Regarding the dump cakes, forty years ago when dump cakes first came out, they were super easy. 1. Dump dry cake mix in oblong cake pan. Dump 2 cans of pie filling evenly over cake mix. 3. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. 4. Melt 2 sticks butter and pour evenly over cake. 5. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until browned and bubbling. Delicious with ice cream. And easy, no recipe required.

[@BBB_bbb_BBB]

My family's pie dough recipe has always used Sprite (or similar soda) as the wet ingredient. Works very well but doesn't make the pie crust taste like pop. I don't know how far back we've been doing that, but at least as far back as my grandmother.

In Weight Watchers over a decade ago, we were taught to mix cake mix with diet soda instead of egg and oil to reduce calories. I guy used to make and bring them. My favorite was a "black cherry" cake - chocolate cake mix, diet black cherry soda, and topped with "lite" cherry pie filling and fat free whipped topping instead of icing. Soda cakes are fine, but I (and my non-dieting family) prefer the mix + can of pumpkin puree + 1/2 can of water. Makes a cake so moist, frosting dissolves, and it's high in fiber.

I think the separating and filming process kinda prevented your rise from being better. The trick with a pop cake is partially that it's easy and fast, but the downside is that being fast isn't an optional thing so much as you gotta be quick or the carbonation that works in your favor stabilizes and reacts with the mix and it won't rise as well.

[@MrFmiller]

I’m inspired. I suspect my kids and grandkids are going to love this. Unfortunately most American soda has high fructose corn syrup, which aggravates gout. I have gout and it shows up in my hips. The damage is cumulative and I don’t want to have my hips replaced if I can help it. I drink cherry juice, which does seem to help but I still avoid shell fish and high fructose corn syrup as much as possible. I buy the Mexican varieties because they use the cane sugar. Then I need to check the ingredients in the cake mix. If necessary I can make my own from scratch. That way I can skip the vanilla which will help showcase the taste of the soda. I can reduce the sugar a bit as well since the soda also contains it. Thanks for the tip. I’ll be experimenting with it.

I don’t really do caffeine so it’s mostly diet root beer and diet ginger ale for me on the off times I want a soda. But being from Texas I will admit Dr Pepper is such a yummy and complex flavor. I loved it back in the day! And the museum in Waco was fun too!

I make cake mixes with lemonade (like sprite in the U.K.) all the time. Great way to make it vegan and tasty :)

I like pairing a chocolate cake mix with root beer and a lemon cake mix with sprite. Cool whip on top, and fresh berries for lightness.

I'd bet the dr pepper flavor would go well with a chocolate cake mix. cherry and chocolate pair nicely.

I take a can of the same soda for example orange and boil it down into a syrup for the top of my cupcakes or my cakes. Its really good especially if you poke holes for the syrup to soak down into it. I like Pepsi and Orange Sunkist or Grape Sunkist. Yummy ❣️ ❣️

I've done that once with a root beer cake, i came to the comments to see if anyone else had!
