Super Eazy, No Fuss, Just Fizzy

Sprite Cake [1]

I went for something a little easier after last week’s colorful cake casualty [2]. This one is an enhanced box mix recipe and uses Sprite and pudding mix to pump it up. You know… there must be something wrong with the universe when a box mix cake comes out better than one I made from scratch. But I won’t complain too much because it was really good and oh so moist inside. See……

Notes

Make it simple all the way and tear open a can of vanilla ready-made frosting… (don't worry I won't tell) or you can use this really easy frosting recipe:
