You know MY VIRAL SOFT DRINK cupcake hack, right? The one that's so easy it almost feels like cheating - but it works every single time! I've been experimenting with new flavours, and this Raspberry Sundae version is hands down my favourite. All you need is a packet of vanilla cake mix and a can of raspberry Fanta. Yep, just TWO ingredients. No eggs. No oil. No butter. No stress.
The result? The fluffiest, most delicious cupcakes… and it's ready in no time!
And if you're feeling fancy, you can take it up a notch by topping it with icing or even a drizzle of white chocolate. But honestly? They are just as good straight out of the oven.
This recipe is proof that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones and trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked.
Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup Raspberry Fanta (or any raspberry soft drink

Step 3
Bake: Pour the mixture into your tray or tin and bake for 10-15 minutes (for cupcakes) or 20-25 minutes (for a whole cake), until cooked through.
Step 4

Flavour Ideas
If you love this cupcake soft drink hack as much as I do, here are a few other flavour combos to try:
- Jaffa Cake: Chocolate cake mix + Fanta Orange
- Lemon Delight: Vanilla cake mix + lemonade or Sprite
- Cherry Cola: Chocolate cake mix + Cherry Cola
- Tropical Twist: Vanilla cake mix + pineapple Fanta
Mix and match - the possibilities are endless!
Top Tip
If you want bakery-style cupcakes, use an ice cream scoop to portion out the batter. It keeps them all the same size and helps them bake evenly.
Storage
Fridge:
Pop the cupcakes or cake into an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezer:
Yes, they freeze beautifully! Wrap individual pieces in cling wrap or baking paper, then pop them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Just thaw at room temperature.
