2 Ingredient Strawbery Cake
Our easy 2 ingredient strawberry cake recipe with soda pop and cake mix is good and so easy to make! It's an egg free dessert and super moist, plus it's lower in calories however you won't miss a thing because this cake is good!
We love easy desserts and recipes in general. You know when you are planning on baking something but realize you are out of eggs? Or you're supposed to bring a treat to this afternoon's potluck and you have less than an hour to do it in. Well this cake is solid for that.
Believe it or not this comes out super moist. There are a lot fewer calories since you need no eggs or oil to make it. If you use a light version of everything you can call it a skinny cake! This 2 ingredient cake reminds us of the strawberry cake in a mug We make pretty often, in a larger form so you can share.
We have to tell you we was a bit skeptical when our friend mentioned she had made this and it was pretty good, so we had to try it myself.
It's not as though we are necessarily watching our weight, but if we could have a bit more…..we'd be down with that. It's one of our favorite dump cake recipes. The reason we love this idea is it is so easy, so much so that our girls would make it almost on their own when they were young!
First off you are going to use either a 13×9″ pan or a we prefer using a pretty bundt cake pan for cakes myself. If you wanted to make soda cupcakes then a muffin tin would be your choice.
Ingredient notes
Box of cake mixflavor of your choosing but in this case you can see the one we chose since it was summertime.
Can of sodawe used lemon lime but if you could find strawberry soda that would be even better. People have asked about club soda, we haven't used it but it wouldn't be sweet
How Long to Bake a 2 Ingredient Cake
We think if you bake it in a bundt pan lightly sprayed the texture is the best. A 9×13″ works too but will likely have the edges more dry than the center which isn't ideal. Instead, if you use a bundt the whole thing will stay nice and fluffy and is prettier when served too. At 350 degrees F, 30 minutes is usually about right for it to spring back when touched gently.
When done allow it to cool. Put a cake plate on top and quickly flip it over. Use a defrosted tub of whipped topping to coat the top and lay fruit on top of that. Chocolate bits or sprinkles are nice options as well. If you love actual fruit baked in, try our peach angel food cake with 2 things as well.
Toppings
Melt a tub of ready made frosting and pour it on with a sprinkle of chocolate chips. Mix powdered sugar and water and pour that “frosting”/ glaze on, use whipped topping (light or regular, like we did). Garnish with some fresh fruits it is a pretty cake and solid for picnics, barbecues, and especially during the Summer when there are tons of fruits to choose from!
Soda and Cake Mix Combinations
Use pineapple cake mix and pineapple soda to make a tropical poke cake with coconut sprinkled on top and pineapple tidbits. All you do is combine cake mix with liquid, pour in prepared cake pan and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Chocolate cake mix + chocolate soda
- Chocolate cake mix + Coke (we did this and made cupcakes in a jar with it)
- Lemon or yellow cake mix + lemon lime soda
- Spice cake mix + ginger ale with whipped cream on top
- Another quickie under 30 minutes – Angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple we call pineapple angel food cake – that's fat free
If you want to make even more moist follow our cake mix strawberry poke cake recipe instead! Frosting options are: we will say it a bit more dense than a traditional cake with egg and oil but it is a slight difference in our opinion (asked kids too).

Our root beer cake only has 2 ingredients too. If you want something a bit more homemade (not totally) go with our Strawberry bread pudding with pie filling on top or our mini cherry brownies are awesome. Chocolate coconut cake you should try if you love decadence. Or our lowest calorie treat are our 2 ingredient cookies are super simple too
This is How to make brownies out of cake mix which is kinda' semi-homemade like this one. Then try this yummy Strawberry yogurt cake
How to save leftovers
That is to wait until it is completely cooled of course. We like to use Press n Seal instead of cling wrap. Either way set what is left on a plate and cover with one of these. Then kinda' mold it around the pieces of cake on there so there is no way air can enter inside. Air is the enemy and will dry it out.
