I just discovered that it is possible to bake a chocolate cake from a mix using Fanta instead of eggs and oil. And thus, to get a chocolate orange cake.

I am definitely going to try this!

Oh GOD it is so hot! Woe. But, we are due thunderstorms on, wait a sec, Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. And on Saturday, when we are supposed to be seeing a play at an outdoor venue, it will rain. Rapture.

*melts*

I do hope you don't actually melt - that would be unfortunate.

can you take plastic sheeting or something to cover yourself for the outdoor play? if it doesn't rain, it could stay folded up in your bag but it might help keep you drier if the skies do open

I am puzzled but intrigued by the cake tip - do report back!

I hope you survive both the heat and the deluge.

On first read, I was all, oh hell no about the Fanta cake, but on thinking about it, it could work.

I feel for everyone down south, it's been bad enough here where the temps have stuck around the mid-twenties for a while now.

Just the thought of using Fanta for anything you're supposed to eat makes me feel a bit queasy. It has such an unnatural colour! And taste! And if it can replace both eggs and oil it really makes me wonder what's in it! (Also, if you still have to add eggs and oil what's the use of a cake mix?)

Ugh, seems all of Europe is having far too hot weather right now! Let's keep our fingers crossed it will get much cooler for all of us SOON!

Never heard of Fanta cake, but I know you can make pancakes with Sprite/7Up. It must be the carbonation somehow, because otherwise they're just water and sugar.

Good luck with the play tomorrow!
