Commonly Asked Questions About Mountain Dew Cake

What Do You Suggest for Mountain Dew Cake Icing?

I had about half a container of icing in the fridge leftover from another dessert I did. So, I just heated that in the microwave for a few seconds and poured it over the dump cake with soda in order to make a thin icing. The cake comes out pretty sweet so, if you don’t end up adding frosting and icing, you won’t miss anything. I like to use whipped cream as my Mountain Dew cake icing.

Can I Make This Mt. Dew Cake With Other Soda?

Well, you won’t be able to call it Mt. Dew Cake if you end up using another soda. However, yes, you can definitely use other flavors of soda to accomplish a similar cake. I have found that using lighter sodas with lighter cakes and darker sodas with darker cakes, turns out better. Of course, you can mix and match as you please but, this is just my experience.
