Goodhousekeeping- Your shopping list is going to be a lot shorter the next time you hit up the supermarket in preparation for a family member's birthday celebration. Why? Well, apparently, you don't have to use eggs, oil or water when baking with a cake with a mix. All you need is (wait for it) a can of soda!
You see, the leavening (also known as raising agents) in these mixes ensure the cake still rises and the soda adds that liquid element required to turn powder into batter. While the flavor of the soda will mostly bake out of the dessert, dark sodas pair best with chocolate treats and light sodas (think: Sprite) with vanilla or other lighter flavors.
Easy, right? You can also try different flavors and combinations to keep this recipe fresh — and still fast!
But it's not just soda that can take your baking to easier and tastier heights. Fuente: www.goodhousekeeping.com
