Prep Time 2 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • ~Vanilla & Creaming Soda ~
  • One Vanilla cake mix pkt
  • 250ml of Creaming Soda
  • Note
  • This recipe can be altered to use any flavour of cake mix and soft drink you like

Instructions
 

  • Pour 250ml of freshly opened Creaming Soda into a bowl with the vanilla cake mix.
  • Stir until just combined. Do not over mix. The bubbles help the cake rise.
  • Pour into a cake tin or into a 1.5ltr slow cooker. I lined my 1.5 ltr slow cooker with baking paper.
  • Put a tea towel under the lid to collect condensation.
  • Cook on high for 80 minutes turning the bowl at least once to avoid hot spots.

    Love it, I’ve tried a few now. Vanilla cake (gluten free) & Golden Pash or Mango is delicious (:

    So easy and so yummy! I added some rose pink food colouring to the cake mix and creaming soda and ended up with a gorgeous hot pink cake. I also used the icing from the packet mix, added a little more rose pink colouring and a small amount of creaming soda and mixed to make creaming soda icing 🙂 Awesome recipe Melody Tapp!

    I used box vanilla cake mix and 250ml ginger beer and used packet icing mix with a little ginger beer and omg its was soo delicious, so easy to make with only 2 ingredients this is my kids and hubby’s favorite cake.

  5. I make this cake with SOLO (sugar free) for a hint of lemon with lemon icing. I only used 200mls of solo and still worked a treat. Great little cake

  6. Super easy to make. I opted for a chocolate cake mix with orange soft drink.
    I’m very impressed with how it turned out. Will definitely be trying more cominations of flavours.

    I made this cake with pink creaming soda and vanilla cake mix. I added red food colouring to the cake mix and also to the vanilla icing along with Tbsp Creaming Soda.
    I lined S/C with foil and baking paper. I cooked on low for 3 hrs checking after 2 hrs. I turned bowl every 25mins to prevent burning. It worked! First time my S/C cake hasn’t burnt!!!

    Very cool recipe. On the sweeter side but still a clever tasty idea

    My cake was very rubbery. What went wrong?
    Used the Woolies cake mix and pink Fanta.
    My pink obsessed granddaughter, who helped make it didn’t like it.

  10. I used a chocolate cake mix and sugar free lemonade. I cooked it for around 3 hours on high in a silicon cake tin but it was still gluggy in the middle. I told the kids it was chocolate pudding and they ate it with ice cream.
    I’m going to try again with a vanilla cake and passion fruit soft drink as someone suggested. I’ll use my other slow cooker and hope for a better result 🤞

      Great idea for the pudding! 🙂
      You may find direct in (on baking paper) may better suit your cooker if it’s taking too long in a tin/silicon tin etc

      I haven’t … but I can’t see any reason it should be different to a regular soft drink so long as the carbonation is the same amount??
      Let see what others think though 🙂
