Soda Pop Cake {or orange and banana cake}

 Finally, I am finding time to post Sweets on Sunday! yeehaw. I started a "lifestyle change." {a.k.a.diet}
But this is not anything new after having a baby. And I am still allowing myself occasional treats- just not as often and not as rich and not as much. And thanks to Hungry Girl, I always find something super duper easy to make. Hence...the Soda Pop Cake. This is fool-proof- as are most of my cake mix based recipes. :) I used one yellow cake mix, and one diet orange soda. It was surprisingly- very delicious.

Soda Pop Cake:

Combine one diet soda (12 oz can, any flavor)

with one cake mix (any flavor)

Bake according to the package directions. Make sure to spray your cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.

After baking, cool in pan before removing.

Frosting:

One 8 oz. container cool whip and one small package vanilla pudding mix- NOT sugar free - if you want gooey frosting.

You can use the sugar free pudding, and your frosting will be less sticky. I also used 2 bananas. You could use any fruit you have- that would go well with your cake. Since we used an orange soda, and a yellow cake, bananas worked well. I layered the cake, frosting, bananas, and then another layer of cake and frosting. (note- I cheated a little- with some refrigerator frosting- added to the pudding frosting to make it go a little further)

There wasn't much left after my boys enjoyed it. I will definitely be making soda pop cake again....

Have you made a soda pop cake? If so- what flavors have you found to work well?

Thanks for reading!
