Making Process

Next, onto the good stuff—how to make this delicious Mountain Dew Cake Recipe!

Preheat Your Oven: The first step in this delicious recipe is preheating your oven to 350 degrees. This will make sure that your bottom cake layer is cooked properly and perfectly.

Grease the Baking Pan: Before adding your mixed batter to the baking pan, just spread some oil or butter over it. You could also line it with baking paper to remove the cake more easily later.

Mixing: Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. This spreads out the leaven so it gets mixed in as evenly through the flour.

Mix Sugar with Eggs: Whisk granulated sugar and eggs in another bowl thoroughly until it gets clear and fluffy. Either use an electric mixer to whisk everything together or simply grunt your way through with a fork.

In another bowl, add the following: 3/4 cup of veggie oil and 1 whole can of Mountain Dew Time to get back those sexy mountain dew molecules that channeled in your brain by cutting down all sugars and straight-to-your-diabetes cookies.

Pour and Bake: Pour out the flagmate onto the baking sheet prepared above. Spread evenly in pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a pick entered into jumps out clean.

Cooling Time: Remove the cake from the oven after baking and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, cool them completely on a cooling rack.

To Make the Topping: In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar with just enough Mountain Dew or any lemon lime soda you have on hand to get it nice and smooth when mixed. Add in minced pieces of lemon zest. combine until really gooey. If it’s a little dry, slowly add water until you reach the desired consistency (it should be thick but still spreadable).
