3-Ingredient Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor you prefer—vanilla, chocolate, or spice cake work great)
- 3 large eggs
- 12 oz can of soda (use a flavor that complements the cake mix; e.g., lemon-lime soda with vanilla cake, cola with chocolate cake, or orange soda with spice cake)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch square pan or a 9-inch round cake pan. - Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and soda. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the mixture until smooth. The batter will be slightly bubbly due to the soda, but that’s perfectly fine! - Pour the batter:
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. - Bake the cake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If you’re using a different-sized pan, baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it. - Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can optionally frost or dust with powdered sugar.
Variations and Tips:
- Frosting: If you’d like to make the cake a little extra special, you can top it with store-bought frosting or even whipped cream. You could also sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a simple finish.
- Flavor combos:
- Chocolate cake: Use a chocolate cake mix and cola or root beer soda.
- Vanilla cake: Use a vanilla cake mix and lemon-lime soda or club soda.
- Spice cake: Use a spice cake mix and orange soda for a delicious twist.
This 3-Ingredient Cake is perfect when you need a quick dessert with minimal effort but still want something tasty. It’s soft, fluffy, and surprisingly delicious—enjoy!
