Notes
*NOTE: Be aware that the finished cake can be way more crumbly than a regular cake. Make sure to cook it all the way through so it isn't gummy while trying not to overcook it.
Flavor and texture-wise, this cake is more of a fun hack than something you would want to serve company. (Try this Chocolate Truffle Cake instead).
- While I used a bundt pan to make this Soda Cake (shown in the photos), I think you get better results when you use a 9 x 13 sheet cake pan. Due to the consistency of the cake (it's pretty crumbly) you want smaller pieces that won't fall apart.
- Be sure to cook this cake through. The consistency can be gummy if not cooked long enough. The top of the cake will look golden. Watch for the cake to pull away from the sides of the pan, then insert a cake tester or toothpick to check the center.
- Adding extracts elevates the flavor game even more! How delish would almond extract be with a Cherry Chip cake made with Orange soda?! The rum extract I used gave this a nice rum flavor.
- Mix and match cake mix and soda flavors to make tons of different treat combinations. Find a bunch of great soda cake combinations in the full blog post.
