    You know what they say, great minds think alike, and in this case, great minds bake alike … at least when they don’t have the time to bake from scratch. This “recipe” is in my book, Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook, and it was also emailed to me by a GDF viewer, Nicole. She is having fun experimenting with the different types of cake and soda! I call it dairy-free cake from a box mix, but Nicole’s name, Favorite Cake, sounds much more enticing.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: 1 cake or 12 cupcakes
    Ingredients
    • 1 Box of Your Favorite Dairy-Free Cake Mix (try some types of Duncan Hines or Oetker Organics – always check ingredients and use caution where cross-contamination is a concern)
    • 1 Can Diet or Regular Soda
    Instructions
    1. Combine cake mix and soda together and bake as directed. That’s it, no eggs, oil, or water required. Sprinkle with powdered sugar to serve, or frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting.
    Notes
    Note from Nicole: You can do many different variations….I just did Meijer brand Moist Select Chocolate Marble with a sprite. Turned out fabulous….my kids loved the treat! There is no way you can tell soda was used, turned out moist and fluffy.

    *The free-from status of your cake will depend on the mix you use

            Whatever flavor suits your mix flavor.

      This is an amazing recipe. I’m wondering, will it work with a gluten/dairy free cake mix?

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on September 21, 2016 10:15 am

        I don’t want to guarantee it as it depends on the mix and gluten-free mixes tend to rely more heavily on the binding of added eggs.

      Do you bake this in the oven?

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on September 13, 2016 11:52 am

        Yes, bake as directed on the box. It is in the directions – there isn’t a specific bake time / temp listed, as it may differ on your cake mix.

      This looks wonderful and so easy. Do you use a hand mixer with it or just mix with a spoon?

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on September 9, 2016 10:43 am

        You can use either Janeen. I usually just use a spoon!
