Simple Sprite Cake

This recipe is from Bakerella - which is a great baking blog if you haven't seen it. Anyway, this is the cake I'd make for Logan's upcoming birthday if he wasn't allergic to eggs and if we could use boxed cake mixes anymore. So, make it and let me live vicariously! It looks awesome.

Simple Sprite Cake

1 white cake mix

4 eggs

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1 box instant vanilla pudding (3 oz. size)

8 oz. can of Sprite (the mini one)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans.
Mix ingredients on low until combined and then increase speed to medium and mix for about 2 minutes. Pour batter into pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Recipe amended from here. Make it simple all the way and tear open a can of vanilla ready-made frosting… (don't worry I won't tell) or you can use this really easy frosting recipe:

Buttercream Frosting

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1b. 10X powdered sugar

1-3 teaspoons milk, half and half or cream

Using a mixer, cream softened butter and vanilla with until smooth.
Add sugar gradually, allowing butter and sugar to cream together before adding more.
If you want it a little creamier, add a teaspoon of milk at a time and beat on high until you get the right texture.
