Description
This Are You Kidding Me Cake is a no-fuss, 3-ingredients wonder that’s too good to be true! With just a box of cake mix, a can of soda, and a few optional add-ins, you can whip up a fluffy, flavorful cake in no time. Perfect for last-minute desserts or when you’re short on ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or funfetti)
- 1 can (12 oz) of soda (cola, lemon-lime soda, root beer, or cream soda)
- Optional: sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit pieces (for added flair)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. -
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and soda. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix—small clumps are okay.
Pro Tip: Match the soda flavor with the cake mix for complementary flavors:- Chocolate cake mix + cola = rich chocolate flavor
- Vanilla cake mix + lemon-lime soda = light and refreshing
- Funfetti cake mix + cream soda = sweet and playful
-
Pour and Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake according to the instructions on the cake mix box (usually 25-30 minutes). To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is done! -
Cool and Decorate:
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. You can serve it as-is or top it with frosting, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Notes
- This cake is incredibly versatile! Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, like sprinkles, chocolate chips, or chopped fruit.
