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 due to the drink's carbonation.[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]
