Cake, candy and sprinkles too!
I have seen this cake hack going around for a while now, and I finally decided it was time to try! Take your favorite cake mix, skip the added ingredients and pair it with a can of your favorite soda instead. And… voila! It actually works!
I chose confetti cake since we were celebrating. I wanted to pair it with an orange soda but only had lemon-lime on hand so I went with it. I added a little bit of lemon and lime extract to bring out the flavors even more and baked as usual. The smell coming from the open oven was heavenly; the cupcakes themselves, light and airy. A little crumbly, due to the hack I assume, but yummy.
While the cupcakes cooled I cracked open a can of whipped vanilla icing and added more extract to flavor it as well as a little green food coloring.
I wasn’t feeling my piping skills today, and the kitchen was hot so I didn’t want to waste the time only to have it drip so I mom-iced it. Added some little star sprinkles and some gummy butterflies the LO chose yesterday and voila!
Let them eat cake!
