Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 can (12 ounces) soda (any flavor to complement the cake mix)
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix batter: In a large mixing bowl, pour the entire cake mix and the can of soda together. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and no dry cake mix remains, being careful not to overmix, which could affect texture.
- Pour and spread: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out to the edges for uniform baking.
- Bake the cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, following the general bake time on the cake mix box. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. This ensures the cake sets properly and slices cleanly.
Notes
- This recipe works well with almost any combination of cake mix and soda flavor—try chocolate cake with cola, vanilla cake with orange soda, or lemon cake with lemon-lime soda for exciting variations.
- No eggs, oil, or added butter are needed, making it a quick and simple cake recipe.
- If you use a dairy-free cake mix, this cake is suitable as a dairy-free and egg-free dessert option.
