Fanta cake (German: Fantakuchen[1]) is a cake that originated in Germany, made with a sponge base. The key ingredient of the sponge base is Fanta or sparkling mineral water, leading to the cake base becoming fluffier than usual sponge-based cakes.[2] The top can be either a simple lemon glaze or a cream layer made of heavy sour cream, whipped cream, sugar, and canned mandarins. Different variants of the cake can use either a light sponge base, or one having a darker color, achieved through the use of cocoa, while the topping can be made using quark.[3] Fanta cake is a cake mainly served at birthday parties or bake sales.[4]
Soda cake
In the Southern United States, similar traditional cakes using 7 Up, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper emerged in the mid-20th century.[5][6] Cracker Barrel introduced cola cake to its menu in the 1990s.[7]
