I’m not a great baker, so box dessert mixes have always been friends of mine. I can’t believe when people slam box cake mix – the majority of the time, it actually tastes really, really good! Plus, box cake mix is super easy to make. Usually, it only calls for the cake mix, oil, and an egg or two.
However, there are probably going to be times when you don’t have eggs (or even oil) on hand. Or maybe you’re vegan, and so you can’t add eggs to your box cake mix. If that’s the case, you’re in luck. Because this hack explains how to make a box cake without either of those extra ingredients, yet still have it taste amazing.
YouTuber Brie decided to try out a hack she had heard about in regards to box cake mix. All you have to do is add a can of soda – yes, soda – to your box cake mix instead of eggs or oil. Mix it up, then bake according to the directions on the box. The soda gives the cake some great flavor, while also making it super fluffy.
If you’re making a chocolate cake, root beer or Coke would probably taste best. But if you’re making a strawberry cake, think of how delicious it would taste with cream soda. This hack is super simple, and will put a yummy spin on already-yummy cake! Check out the video below to see this hack unfold.
