He recently eliminated dairy from his diet and has been adjusting to the change. Now the challenge has been finding desserts that are delicious but with no milk, until now. First I made angel food cake mix with pineapple which was delicious. BUT this was even easier!!

Soda Cake Calories

Each box of cake has different total calories. Just divide that by 24 – # of total cupcakes. If you use diet soda there aren’t any calories added to that + I added a small scoop of vanilla with only 240 calories for the whole pint to get my 100 calorie total.

Easy peasy and delicious. Now there are a few ways you can enjoy this combo…… Looking for a late night treat? Grab a spoon and enjoy it right out of the carton!

Want added flavors, crumble up some of your soda pop cake and put it inside your pint. The banana and pineapple flavors and so good together! The only things you’ll need are a box of cake mix, yellow cake, white cake mix, lemon cake mix, they all work. A can of flavored soda and a large bowl. Make your favorite combination.

How to Make Soda Cake Cupcakes with Cake Mix

  1. Use cupcake liners for smaller versions you see here or a bundt cake pan for a full cake.
  2. Combine the two ingredients in your mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Fill, bake at 350 degrees F
    • for 50 minutes in a sprayed bundt pan
    • for about 17 minutes for cupcakes in a muffin tin with paper liners until they spring back
  4. Doesn’t matter what soda and cake mix you combine for bake times. Cool completely before flipping cake on to a pan.
What are the best soda and cake mix combinations?

1. Chocolate cake mix + Coca-Cola
2. Strawberry + Strawberry soda
3. Yellow cake mix + Sprite
4. Coconut + 7-up
5. Spice cake mix + Gingerale

Can you bake soda and cake mix in a muffin pan?

Absolutely. You would have to change the bake time to less, about 17 minutes or so. Remember that this combination will yield a flatter more dense outcome so they won’t peak and be quite as fluffy as regular cupcakes but a quick sweet treat we love for sure.
