Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the correct temperature for baking the cake evenly.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix with the carbonated beverage. Mix gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth without lumps.
Prepare Pan: Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan, spreading it to the edges.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
Cool Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess.
Serve: Serve the cake plain or optionally dust it with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

You can use cola for a richer, sweeter flavor or sparkling water for a lighter taste.
Ensure the pan is well greased to avoid sticking.
The cake is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Adding frosting or whipped cream is optional and can enhance the cake further.
