Made these last night — they were delicious but definitely not light & fluffy. Very heavy & cake — I am just taking a stab, but I am thinking that it’s because I used an all-natural orange soda (Zevia)? That’s the only difference I can find.

Had a terrible time with the frosting, too… again, it tasted delicious, but was super runny & I had to add a ton more sugar just to get it usable. Super-sweet & tasty, but still too thin. Perhaps I used too much orange juice here. The recipe called for the pulp/juice of one orange, but all I had available were small clemetines, so I used 2. Too much?

hi Caitlin!

I have not tried that brand of cake mix, but if it says it will not work without eggs, I’d believe them! (there are many things people substitute for eggs, I am assuming they know most of those will not work and are giving you fair warning!) I have not seen the soda technique used with eggs, but I don’t see why it would not work? please do let me know how it goes! vanilla blackberry sounds fantastic!

cheers, Kristina

This look wonderful! I am excited to try the soda trick.

Question though, the GF cake mix I got calls for eggs (an insists the mix does not work without eggs). The mix is “Camela’s Classic Vanilla Cake Mix”. Do you see a problem with the whole soda technique if I use eggs as well?

Also.. If this works I will post my recipe: Vanilla Blackberry Cupcakes with Matcha Frosting

hi Nancy! nope, that is what is so cool about this “recipe” – the dry cake mix and 8- 10 ounces of soda is all you need – a little less than a full can or bottle, and I start with 8 ounces because some of the gluten free cake mixes are smaller than normal cake mix. I added the orange as extras, but you can use any flavor cake mix + soda and it makes REALLY fluffy cakes!

Enjoy… happy birthday to your son!
