Fanta cake
German dessert
Fanta cake (German: Fantakuchen, pronounced [ˈfantaˌkuːxən]) is a cake of German origin. It is made with a sponge cake base. The primary ingredient is Fanta, which makes it fluffier than typical sponge cakes due to the drink's carbonation. The cake is topped with either a simple lemon glaze or a creamy layer made of heavy sour cream, whipped cream or sugar. It is typically served at birthday parties or celebrations.

In the Southern United States, similar cakes using 7 Up, Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper emerged in the mid-20th century. Cracker Barrel introduced "Cola Cake" to its menu in the 1990s, with iterations including a double chocolate fudge Coca-Cola cake.
Several types of beer cake are similarly partially leavened by beer's carbonation.
