This Strawberry Soda Cake is pure retro joy. It ‘s soft, fluffy, and bursting with strawberry flavor thanks to a clever shortcut, boxed cake mix and fizzy soda. No eggs, no oil, just mix, bake, and top. It’s the easiest way to bring a little sparkle to your dessert table. This Strawberry Soda Cake delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort. With just two ingredients in the cake. It’s light, fluffy, and full of nostalgic charm. The strawberry buttercream adds a creamy, fruity finish that feels bakery-worthy without the fuss. It’s perfect for parties, potlucks, or last-minute desserts, and the playful pink color makes it as fun to serve as it is to eat.

    Add pink food dye gradually and mix thoroughly to achieve a consistent, vibrant pink color without streaks or uneven coloration.
  • Strawberry Intensity Hack 🍓
    Boost the strawberry flavor by adding a tablespoon of freeze-dried strawberry powder to the cake mix for an intense, authentic fruit essence.
