How To Make Southern Sun Drop Cake
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine the lemon cake mix, four tablespoons of Sun Drop soda, instant lemon pudding, eggs, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
2. Spray a Bundt cake baking pan with nonstick spray. Next, pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
3. Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
4. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of Sun Drop soda, and powdered sugar, confectioners’ sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze has a smooth consistency.
5. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. While the cake is still warm, poke several holes all over the surface using a fork or skewer. Slowly pour the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and spread evenly.
Enjoy with some vanilla ice cream!
