It's nice to have those pantry ingredients when you get a sweet tooth and decide to make a cake. I made this Sprite Pound cake with mostly pantry ingredients. This is the third recipe I like to make that uses soda as an ingredient. I will post the other two recipes later. I took lots of pictures this time and will post them with steps. This is not a diet friendly recipe, but I have found that you can use diet soda and Splenda to make a sugar free version. Click on the link below to print out the recipe. I also sliced some strawberries and coated them with sugar. Let the strawberries sit while the cakes cook and they will make their own juice.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream the butter and shortening. (I did not intend for the butter to melt. I softened it up in the microwave.)
The creamed butter and shortening should be light and smooth
Add the sugar one cup at a time and beat on slow speed to combine.
Scrape down the bowl and make sure all ingredients are combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each one.
Add the vanilla and combine.

Add the flour one cup at a time alternating with Sprite. Beginning and ending with flour.
Scrape down the bowl one last time to make sure everything is incorporated.
Prepare the pans by spraying with non-stick spray and then coating with flour.
Divide batter into 3 loaf pans, 1 - 10 oz tube pan or 2 - 8 oz tube pans. I tried it with two loaf pans this time and one of them overflowed in my oven.
Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack for a little bit and then turn out of the pan to cool completely.
I basically made mine a Strawberry Shortcake with sliced strawberries. Slice the strawberries and add a little sugar. While they sit they will make their own juice.
