Fanta Cake
Fanta cake (, ) is a cake originating from Germany, made with a sponge cake base. The primary ingredient is Fanta, a carbonated soft drink which gives a fluffier texture than typical sponge cakes due to effervescence. The cake is topped with either a simple lemon glaze or a creamy layer made of heavy sour cream, whipped cream, sugar, and canned mandarins. It is typically served at birthday parties or bake sales. Fanta was developed by the German branch of The Coca-Cola Company during World War II because trade embargoes made some typical soft drink ingredients difficult to obtain in Nazi Germany. Fanta became popular as a beverage and a sweetener in other dishes, such as cakes. Similar cakes Similar recipes use other carbonated soft drinks. For instance, in Germany, using Sprite makes Spritekuchen, and Coca-Cola makes Colakuchen. Other beverages like lemonade can make Limokuchen. In the Southern United States, similar cakes using 7 Up, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper emerged in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Other soft drinks in this category, such as Dublin Original and Pibb Xtra, have a similar flavor profile.
