Mountain Dew Bundt Cake

Step 1

Cake Batter

Step 2

Heat the oven to 350° F. Oil the bundt pan thoroughly including the center cone.

Step 3

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil.

Step 4

With an electric mixer, or the stand mixer, beat on medium-low speed to break up the eggs.

Step 5

Add half of the Mountain Dew to the bowl and mix on low speed for 30 seconds just to get it mixed in then add the rest of the soda and mix on medium speed for about two minutes. Scrape the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Pout the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes, until cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes then flip it out on a cooling rack or a cake plate. Continue to cool before icing the cake.

Step 8

In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar with ¼ cup of the soda. Stir until smooth and creamy. You can this icing to be very thick, but still pourable.

Step 9

If it is easier, transfer the icing to a large measuring cup then slowly pour it onto the top of the cake. Or, you can spread the icing on the cake with a knife. You will probably not use all the icing, it just depends on how much you want the cake covered.

Step 10

Let the icing firm up before slicing.

Step 11

Store the cake in an airtight container, or cover it loosely with plastic wrap for up to three days.
