Red Creaming Soda Cake
Feb. 5th, 2010 03:11 pmMix:
1 packet cake mix (eg Greens vanilla cake)
about 2/3 can soft drink eg red creaming soda (enough to make a batter)(*)
Bake as directed.
---
It's a bit flat and crumbly and the red creaming soda flavour is rather fake but it's fairly nice, relatively low fat, and dairy free (in fact, vegan!) And ABSURDLY easy.
I encountered the "use a can of soda in cake mix" idea shortly after going off dairy but couldn't find any dairy free cake mixes to try it with until now (not sure how I missed that Greens are).
I haven't been able to drink soft drink since I got reflux but the raising agents counteract the acid and it doesn't seem to disagree with me too much (I intend to freeze most of the cake and eat it over time) So, yay! *ponders the possibilities*
(*)Recipes I found online call for a full can, but looking at the weights given Australian cake mixes seem to be smaller than American ones
