Why This Recipe Works
You will be surprised how amazing this strawberry flavor cake really is. It is so moist and so easy that any child can make it. My kids make them all the time and the entire family devours it almost immediately.
The cake is amazing just alone but if you want it to look beautiful then I suggest you make a quick glaze and drizzle it over the cake. If you don’t feel like making the glaze, try garnishing each slice with cool whip.

- Step 1 – First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2 – Use a large mixing bowl to combine the strawberry cake mix and sprite together. Don’t follow the cake mix instructions or add any of the other ingredients.
Step 3 – We used a bundt cake pan for this recipe. Just spray the pan with cooking spray and pour the batter inside.
Step 4 – Finally, bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5 – While the cake cools, make the glaze for the cake. It is optional but so tasty.

- Step 3 – Finally, drizzle all of that yummy glaze all over the cake.
Recipe Tips
- Prepare Baking Dish – Before pouring the cake batter in the Bundt pan, make sure to spray with cooking spray. Spray the sides and bottom of the plan so the cake is easy to remove.
- Cake Mix Ingredients – You will not use any additional ingredients that the cake mix calls for.

I would think a diet soda would still work.
I want to try this but I usually only have diet soda (sweetened with aspartame.) Anyone tried this with a diet drink? Please no warnings about the sweetener. Thanks!
Oh that sounds delicious! Let us know how it turns out!
I’m going to try black cherry soda with dark chocolate cake mix!
Ellen – I did not use any vanilla in the glaze recipe. This is a typo and the post has been corrected. Thank you!
I used 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 Tbsp of milk for the glaze on this recipe. Thanks!
What are the amounts of the ingredients listed for the glaze?
This recipe sounds like such fun! How much vanilla did you use in the glaze?
Going to the grocery store today and buying Strawberry Cake mix, I already have the soda. This looks so moist and yummy.
Yes, you can. I would bake it for 15-20 minutes in that pan. Thanks.
Can I use a 9 x 13 pan to bake this in and for how long.
Definitely a 5 star rating. My son had egg allergies and this was one he could he and one of our favorites. I think they’re more moist than regular cake recipe. We also did orange pop with yellow cake. Yum.
I made the Strawberry and Cream Soda cake in a bunt pan for Christmas dessert and it didn’t turn out well. It was kind of gooey, sticky, and crumbled when sliced into. Any tips on how to keep it from doing this? Otherwise, it smelled and tasted good.
Melissa – When mixing the glaze, I would add a few drops of pink food coloring and this will make your glaze pink. Thank you!
How would I make my glaze pink?
No – It doesn’t matter. Mine is usually cold.
Does it matter if the sprite is cold or room temperature?
I will be make a Strawberry Cake Mix + Vanilla Cream Soda = Strawberry Shortcake for my science fair project
Made the yellow cake with sprite was very moist and crumbled when sliced can you make the day before
