Fanta Cake with mandarins and sour cream

Sunday, 24. April 2016 by purpleavocado 5 Comments

Fanta Cake Recipe for a fluffy, soft and moist birthday cake with mandarins and sour cream. #cake #baking #cream #birthday

Some cakes accompany your whole life. Just like this fanta cake with mandarins and sour cream which couldn’t be missing at any childhood birthday party ever. Next to my all time favourite fanta cake my grandma also had to bake my second favourite cake called ‘Eat-till-you-go-nuts’ a very heavy cake with vanilla pudding, chocolate and caramelized nuts – have you ever heard of it? What were your most loved childhood birthday cakes?

But why is it called Fanta cake?

This recipe is originally from a Dr. Oetker baking book and they brazenly named their cake after this infamous and globally known lemonade brand. Instead of simply naming it Orange-Lemonade-Cake. Seems legit, right? Fanta Cake just rolls off the tongue so easily.

The Fanta (or any other orange lemonade) is added to the cake base and makes it perfectly juicy, soft and fluffy. One cunny reader might now ask legitimately why not use sparkling water instead as a sugar-less and brand-neutral solution. But then it wouldn’t be Fanta cake anymore – D’uh!

This recipe is not healthy!

Oh no! A cake recipe with white flour, endless amounts of sugar and ON TOP of all that sugary lemonade. A cake with a layer of sugared mandarins, heavy sour cream and even more whipping cream. To cap it all off it get’s literally drowned in cinnamon and more sugar. Booh!

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE healthy and nutritious cooking, but only stick to it 80-90% of the time. The other 10-20% are snack attacks, midnight-party-foods or consciously submitting to cravings just for the sake of treating oneself. (because yolo and stuff… you know)

And for this reason, for more reality on Purple Avocado, I have written this unhealthy, non-veganised recipe which I grew up with (literally, considering it was my birthday cake).

So – since you won’t put this cake on your daily diet, you should be fine peeps.

Fanta Cake in a springform pan or a baking tin

It’s fairly easy to convert this recipe to different sizes. The original recipe is intended for a 26 cm (10 inch) round baking pan. My mom confirmed that you simply have to double the ingredients if you want to make a whole baking tin (which are as big as your oven).

For all other sizes and shapes you’ll find plenty of helpful resources via Google.
