- This cake is my family's favorite dessert. I got the recipe from a girlfriend at work. The original recipe used orange diet soda, and an orange cake mix but I have experimented with different mixes and sodas.
- Here are my favorite cake combinations:
- Yellow cake mix - Diet Lemon-lime soda (Sprite)
- Chocolate cake mix - Diet Pepsi or Coke
- Devils Food cake mix - Diet Dr. Pepper
- German Chocolate cake mix - Diet Pepsi or Coke
- Pineapple cake mix - Diet Lemon-lime soda (Sprite)
- Orange cake mix - Diet orange soda or lemon-lime soda(Sprite)
- My favorite topping combinations:
- Chocolate pudding - Peaches
- Cheesecake pudding - Pineapple
- Vanilla pudding - Mandarin oranges
- You can also benefit from my failures. Here are a few hints for a great cake every time.
- Be sure you use a 'Moist' cake mix. I really like the Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar cake mix. I have used the Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe, and several of the store brand mixes. They all seem to work fine.
- Don't use Fresca for your diet soda.
- Be sure your batter has a good consistency. You may need to add a little more soda if you are measuring from a 2 liter bottle.
- I don't put my topping on the cake until I am ready to serve.
- This cake is very moist. If you don't plan to eat it all in a couple of days, you may want to freeze part of it.
