How to Make Lemon Lime Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix, 1 (12 oz) can cola, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup of lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7 Up).
  3. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. Frost with your favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting is recommended!).
