FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different soda instead of Fanta?
A: Yes! While orange Fanta is classic for its citrus flavor, you can experiment with other fruit-flavored sodas like lemon-lime, cherry, or grape for unique twists.
Q: Can I make this cake vegan?
A: You can substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free butter and milk alternatives. The texture may vary slightly but still delicious!
Q: Why does the cake use soda instead of water or milk?
A: Soda adds moisture, sweetness, and carbonation, which helps the cake rise and become fluffier while imparting a subtle fruit flavor.
Q: How do I know when the cake is done?
A: Insert a toothpick into the center — if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), the cake is ready.
