This is very similar to my recipe, except I use one small box of Jello with a coordinating 12 ounce soda pop. ONLY. no water. I always make it for bbq's! EVERYONE loves this refrigerated cake on a hot day. Even had a 'chef in training' compliment this cake!

I was really disappointed after reading all the great reviews...but the cake turned out very soggy. I don't know what went wrong, but I followed the directions.

this was a wonderful cake.made it for church funtion everyone loved it. thanks timmyjo

This is the yummiest moistest cake ever! We loved it. I used Jones Strawberry & Lime soda when I made it. Next time I will try the orange soda as another reviewer mentioned. It definitely needs to be eaten within a day or so, but that has never been a problem for us!

SO GOOD! It takes a while to make, so it's not a quick dessert, but it is SO worth it. I took this as a "back up" dessert to a bbq and it ended up being the most talked about! LOVED IT!

I have made this for years! ORANGE is fantastic, try this substitute. (To clarify a prior question below...you substitute the cold water in the jello mix with cold pop. I always use a can of sunkist, mix 1/2 in with the jello and just pour the other half over the top as well. I make it in a regular cake pan, one layer, with no whole fruit. It keeps a little better and is a huge hit. Tastes like a wonderfully yummy cream sickle. YUM... Regular cake pan makes it a bit easier to make, very quick and clean...easy to store in the fridge as well. :)

I used two square pans and covered with frosting and fresh strawberries between layers. Its not only good, its looks really pretty.

Loved the frosting. I baked the cake in my glass 9x13 pan and it kept for several days. Plus it was stored in the fridge with clear wrap on top.

The cake was easy and excelent tasting. The same as what I grew up on.. The lady in our neighborhood would never give my mom and dad the recipe.. it does take the whole time to make it.. but well worth it..

This cake was delicious! One of my friends used to make it, but lost the recipe, and here it was! It was gone in seconds!

I found this recipe in my moms recipe box once I am glad I found it again

This is a great recipe. Excellent with orange pop and jello as well. Be prepared, this becomes (obviously) very soggy and is hard to dish out. Looked nice with some sliced fresh strawberries over the plain white frosting.

The directions (how much water to use with the Jell-O or just the soda, etc.) were a little confusing, but it was good, and the icing was WONDERFUL!

I made this for my daughter's birthday and used cherry gelatin & cherry soda. It was tasty and everyone thought it was "interesting". It definitely needs to be eaten in a day or two, otherwise it turns to mush.

This cake had a good flavor, but I found if not eaten fast enough (within two days or so) it becomes quite soggy and mushy. I added blueberries and strawberries on top in a flag pattern for the 4th of July....the vanilla pudding mixture however was tinted yellow..so that was a bit odd. I think I will just put whipped cream on next time and forget the pudding.

The cake had very good flavor, and I had 6 people over for a Sunday evening barbecue and over half of the cake was eaten. I thought you could cut the topping in half, I enjoyed the cake more than the frosting. linnie

I took this to a summer cookout. It was a huge hit. I added fresh strawberry slices and made it as a layered round cake. I also added fresh strawberries as embellishment.

My Grandma made this all the time when I was a kid. It has long been a favorite of mine. I've been trying to get the recipe for years. All hail the soda pop cake =) LOL
