Fanta cake (‹See Tfd›German: Fantakuchen, pronounced [ˈfantaˌkuːxən][1]) is a cake originating from Germany, made with a sponge cake base. The key ingredient is the carbonated soft drink Fanta, which creates a fluffier texture than typical sponge cakes due to the carbonation.[2] The cake is topped with either a simple lemon glaze or a cream layer made of heavy sour cream, whipped cream, sugar, and canned mandarins. It is typically served at birthday parties or bake sales.[3]

Fanta was developed by the German branch of The Coca-Cola Company during World War II because trade embargoes made some typical soft drink ingredients difficult to obtain in Germany. Fanta became popular as a beverage and a sweetener in other dishes, such as cakes.[4][5]

Similar cakes

Similar recipes use other carbonated soft drinks. For instance, in Germany, using Sprite makes ‹See Tfd›Spritekuchen, and Coca-Cola makes ‹See Tfd›Colakuchen. Other beverages like Limonade can make ‹See Tfd›Limokuchen.[6][7]

In the Southern United States, similar cakes using 7 Up, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper emerged in the mid-20th century.[8][9] Cracker Barrel introduced cola cake to its menu in the 1990s, with iterations including the Double Chocolate Fudge Coca-Cola Cake.[10]

Several types of beer cake are similarly partially leavened by beer's natural carbonation.[11]
