Audra Grant demos a soda cake live this morning on Carolina A.M when Greg Rowles makes a discovery.   Did you know you could make a cake with soda?!  Carbonated beverages can be used in place of traditional baking soda and powder.   The carbonation helps the cake rise and gives it a lift.   You may have seen it online labeled as things such as soda cake even skinny cake.   A two-ingredient cake sounds too simple but even Better Homes & Gardens is doing one.  You only need a box of cake mix and a can of soda.   It can be fun to play with flavor combinations.   Audra paired a Betty Crocker yellow cake mix with Dr Pepper and a lemon cake mix with grapefruit-flavored sparking water.  Audra brings both to the show today and prepares a demo batch live.  Wires get crossed after Greg discovers a technical issue with the mixer.

Soda Cake:

one box of cake mix

one 12 ounce soda (carbonated beverage)

frosting (optional)

Combine the cake mix and soda.  Whisk or beat on high.  Bake according to directions on the box.
