Rich Tube Cakes

• One of the classic ways to bake with soda pop is to incorporate your favorite brand into a tube cake batter. Instead of using water or milk in the recipe, simply use soda pop as a replacement liquid. For chocolate cakes, cola and root beer work well to add moisture and richness to the cake. For vanilla cakes, try incorporating lemon-lime soda. Whatever soda you use in your cake, add some more of the same to your frosting to really bring out the soda pop flavor.

Fluffy Biscuits

• Soda pop may seem like an odd thing to add to biscuits, but adding a little lemon-lime soda to your favorite buttermilk biscuit mix will result in a fluffy and delectable final product. Substitute lemon-lime soda for milk or water and add an equal part of sour cream to the mixture and half as much melted butter. When they come out of the oven, you’ll have light, flaky and moist biscuits to serve alongside dinner or to enjoy for breakfast.

Delicious Donuts

• To add an extra layer of flavor to chocolate cake donuts, substitute cola or root beer when the recipe calls for milk or coffee. After baking donuts on a wire rack, prepare a soda-infused glaze. While the donuts cool, mix together melted butter cocoa powder, cola or root beer, powdered sugar, vanilla and a touch of salt. Let the glaze before smothering your donuts with the sugary mixture. Then add pecans or sprinkles as you see fit.

Fruity Cheesecake Pies

• A fruit-flavored cola will add a zip to your cheesecake pie. To make a cheesecake pie, use graham cracker and butter for the crust. Once your crust has been baked and it’s ready to go, mix together the cream cheese filling. Then add a splash or more of orange- or strawberry-flavored soda to give your cheesecake pie a fruity twist, making sure to subtract filling according to how much soda you add so that it doesn't become soupy. You can also experiment with other soda flavors, such as vanilla, cream soda or root beer.
