2 Ingredient Soda Cupcakes

by Linda

I don't know why it took me so long to discover this. As a kid, I used to bake cakes and cupcakes all the time using cake mix boxes. The simplicity of just adding water, oil, and some eggs was very appealing.  Now with this recipe, you can cut out even more of the work. The important step here is to disregard the instructions on the back of the box completely. Forget about the water, oil, and eggs. All you need is a 12oz can of soda and your cake mix box. This works with any cake mix box regardless of if you're team Pillsbury or team Betty Crocker.

For this version of the recipe I'll be using Pillsbury Strawberry Premium Cake Mix with a can of Sprite Zero. Regular Sprite works just as well, but I've really been on this Zero soda thing lately. The fun thing about these 2 ingredient cakes/cupcakes is figuring out the best combination between different soda flavors and cake mix flavors.
