- 1 box (15 oz) angel food cake mix
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7-Up)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 10-inch tube pan, ensuring it remains ungreased so the batter can climb the sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and the lemon-lime soda.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix to preserve the aeration.
- Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan. Shake gently to settle and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely upside down in the pan (about 1 hour).
- Run a knife around the edges and the center tube to loosen the cake, then remove from the pan and serve.
Notes
- Do not grease the pan; the cake needs to cling to the sides to rise properly.
- Inverting the pan while cooling is crucial to prevent the cake from collapsing.
- Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for added flavor.
- Ensure the soda is fresh and bubbly for the best rise.
