Fanta cake
German dessert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fanta cake (German: Fantakuchen, pronounced [ˈfantaˌkuːxən][1]) is a cake of German origin. It is made with a sponge cake base. The primary ingredient is Fanta, which makes it fluffier than typical sponge cakes.[2] The cake is topped with either a simple lemon glaze or a creamy layer made of heavy sour cream, whipped cream or sugar. It is typically served at birthday parties or celebrations.[3]
Similar cakes
Similar recipes use other carbonated, artificial, or fruit-flavored beverages. For instance, using Sprite makes Spritekuchen and lemonade Limokuchen.[4][5]
In the Southern United States, similar cakes using 7 Up, Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper emerged in the mid-20th century.[6][7] Cracker Barrel introduced "Cola Cake" to its menu in the 1990s, with iterations including a double chocolate fudge Coca-Cola cake.[8] Several types of beer cake are similarly partially leavened by beer's carbonation.[9]
