Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 12 oz carbonated beverage (cola or sparkling water)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking once your batter is prepared.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and the carbonated beverage. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and well incorporated, avoiding overmixing to maintain the cake’s light texture.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely to prevent sogginess.
- Serve: Serve the cake plain or dust with powdered sugar for a simple garnish before serving.
Notes
- Use a flat cola or sparkling water for best texture; avoid citrus sodas which may affect flavor.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance flavor if desired.
- The cake is egg-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for some dietary restrictions.
- Make sure to not overmix to maintain the cake’s fluffiness.
- Check the cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time, as oven temperatures may vary.
