Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 can (12 oz) of soda (any flavor, such as cola, lemon-lime, or orange)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and soda. Stir gently until just combined, ensuring the batter is smooth but without overmixing. There is no need to add eggs, oil, or water.
- Fill the Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcake tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Check the cupcakes near the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost them with your favorite frosting or enjoy them plain.
Notes
- Choose complementary flavors of cake mix and soda for best results, such as chocolate cake mix with cola or lemon cake mix with lemon-lime soda.
- Do not add additional liquid or ingredients, as this will affect the texture.
- Check cupcakes early during baking as oven temperatures may vary.
- These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free frosting or enjoy without frosting.
