The Fanta added a tangy twist that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the cake. It was a hit with everyone who tried it. Definitely gonna keep this recipe in my back pocket for future baking adventures!
If you want to give it a try, grab your apron, and let’s get baking! Who knows, maybe next time we can experiment with another soda flavor.
Overview: How To Make Fanta Cake?
Let’s whip up a delightful Fanta cake with simple steps and basic ingredients! To begin, grease your baking tin and line it with baking paper for easy removal later on. Preheat your oven to 180�C to ensure it’s nice and toasty for baking.
Next up, let’s get our dry ingredients ready. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder together twice to ensure they’re well combined and free of lumps. Set this mixture aside for now.
Now, it’s time to bring together the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, vanilla essence (if you fancy), and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk this mixture for about 1-2 minutes until everything is nicely incorporated.
With the wet ingredients mixed, gradually add the dry ingredients along with the Fanta or Mirinda, doing so in 2-3 batches. Be gentle as you mix, ensuring everything comes together smoothly without overdoing it. Once the batter is ready, pour it into your prepared cake tin and pop it into the preheated oven.
Bake your cake at 180�C for around 25 minutes until it’s beautifully golden and cooked through. Once done, allow it to cool completely before removing it from the tin. To add a sweet finishing touch, dust some powdered sugar over the cake using a strainer.
Finally, slice up your Fanta cake and serve it to your eager guests, or enjoy it yourself with a cup of tea. It’s a simple yet delicious treat that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth!

What to Serve with Fanta Cake?
Time for The Tips!
- Prep Your Equipment: Before diving into the recipe, ensure you have all your equipment ready to go. A mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cups, and a cake pan are essential. Having everything prepped and within reach makes the process smoother.
- Line and Grease Your Tin: Don’t forget to grease and line your cake tin before pouring in the batter. This step ensures your cake comes out cleanly without sticking to the pan.
- Preheat Your Oven: It’s important to preheat your oven to 180�C before starting. This ensures your cake bakes evenly from the get-go, resulting in a perfectly cooked cake.
- Sift Your Flour: Sifting the flour and baking powder together twice might seem like an extra step, but it’s worth it. This helps to aerate the flour, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake texture.
- Whisk Thoroughly: When whisking together the oil, vanilla essence, and sweetened condensed milk, make sure to do it thoroughly. You want a smooth and well-combined mixture before adding the dry ingredients.
- Gradually Add Dry Ingredients: When incorporating the flour mixture and Fanta into the wet ingredients, do it gradually. This helps prevent lumps and ensures everything combines smoothly.
- Be Gentle: When mixing the batter, be gentle. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix until everything is just combined for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I make this recipe without sweetened condensed milk?
A: Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and moisture to the cake. However, you can try substituting it with an equal amount of sugar dissolved in milk or yogurt. Keep in mind that this may affect the texture and flavor of the cake.
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of maida (all-purpose flour)?
A: Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for maida, but be aware that it may result in a denser texture and slightly different flavor. Adjustments in baking time and liquid content may be necessary.
Q: Can I make this recipe vegan?
A: Yes, you can make a vegan version of Fanta cake by substituting the sweetened condensed milk with a plant-based alternative such as coconut condensed milk or a mixture of coconut cream and sugar. Additionally, ensure the Fanta used is vegan-friendly, as some sodas may contain animal-derived ingredients.
