If you love aromatic sweet pastries, then be sure to try baking a sponge cake with lemonade. The dessert absorbs the taste of the drink and becomes incredibly juicy, airy and fluffy. If you use apple lemonade, you will get a biscuit with apple flavor, pear lemonade - with pear flavor, etc. The delicacy is baked like other wet biscuits - 40 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees or 1 hour and 40 minutes in a slow cooker at “Baking” mode, and in the latter the biscuit does not fall off and holds its shape even after removal. Do not confuse wet biscuits with regular dry ones, since vegetable oil is added to their composition - such desserts require more baking time and should be cut only after they have completely cooled!
Preparation
1. As in the classic recipe for making a sponge cake, first beat the chicken eggs with salt and granulated sugar for about 3-5 minutes until fluffy foam. This can be done either in the bowl of a food processor or with a mixer. It is advisable for the eggs to be at room temperature - this will help them beat faster.
2. After this, pour vegetable oil and lemonade into the airy egg mass. The lemonade must be foamy, freshly poured from the bottle, with gas, otherwise the sponge cake will not rise.
Add sifted wheat flour and baking powder.
If you want to get a chocolate sponge cake, then add 3 tbsp. l. cocoa powder, removing the same amount of flour.
Beat the entire contents of the container again for 2-3 minutes at medium speed so that the airy foam does not fall off.
3. Pour the dough, thick as sour cream, into the multicooker bowl and turn on the “Baking” mode on the display for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or pour the dough into the mold and bake the sponge cake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 40-45 minutes, checking its readiness with a wooden toothpick in the center. There is no need to grease the molds - the dough contains vegetable oil. The main thing to remember is that the biggest mistake is removing the biscuit from the appliance too early! Then the middle will not bake and it will look like a clot of clay from the inside!
If in the classical technology of preparing sponge cake the most important thing is correct, then to bake a sponge cake with lemonade with gas, it is important that the water is highly carbonated and just opened. Otherwise, the products you will need are approximately the same - fresh eggs (this is the basis of any biscuit), sugar (after all, we are baking a confectionery product) and flour. Be careful when it comes to flour - you won’t be able to bake even such a fairly simple biscuit with lemonade in the oven or in a slow cooker if the flour is of poor quality. So we choose only the highest grade flour, always milled from durum wheat. Don’t forget to sift it several times to saturate it with air, make it fluffier and remove lumps. Another subtlety - you won’t be able to bake a sponge cake with lemonade without vegetable oil. We take sunflower oil, always odorless, always purified.
Subtleties of making biscuit
We offer a basic option in which you can bake a lemonade sponge cake in the oven; the recipe can be supplemented with raisins, pieces of dried apricots or prunes, cocoa or other additives - to taste.
Ingredients:
- odorless sunflower oil – 1 cup;
- sifted high-quality white wheat flour – 3 cups;
- or other soda to taste (without dyes) – 1 cup;
- fresh large egg – 4 pcs.;
- white refined granulated sugar - 1-1.5 cups (depending on how sweet the lemonade is);
- baking powder or baking powder - 1 sachet.
Preparation
Since nothing depends on the temperature of the ingredients in this case, you can use both chilled and left at room temperature. In an enamel or plastic bowl, beat the eggs. There is no need to waste time and effort on separating and obtaining protein peaks. Just beat them well with sugar, adding them in several stages to dissolve faster. When the mass has become homogeneous and has increased slightly in relation to the initial volume, pour in the oil and soda. Of course, we use only water with natural ingredients, no artificial flavors, only sugar (usually sold in glass bottles). Dyes are also undesirable. They will not make the biscuit bright, it will turn out to be an unpleasant dirty shade, so we do not use Tarragon or Cola. You can prepare a sponge cake using “Lemonade” with gas, “Sprite”, “Duchesse”. “Citro” or “Cream soda” are also suitable. Whisk all the ingredients, the mixture comes together quickly, so sift the flour and baking powder in advance. If it is not available, use slaked soda - 1/3 teaspoon of soda to 1 teaspoon of vinegar. We extinguish the soda before adding soda. Add flour and use a mixer, breaking up any lumps, until the dough reaches the consistency of homemade sour cream.
How to bake correctly?
You can bake a lemonade sponge cake in the oven. To do this, line the springform pan with oiled paper, pour the dough into it and put it in the oven for half an hour at a temperature of 200 degrees, then lower the temperature to 160 and hold for another 15-20 minutes. Without opening the oven, let the biscuit stand for at least half an hour, after which we remove it from the mold. As you can see, making lemonade sponge cake is quite simple.
Airy sponge cake is one of the most popular bases for delicious cakes, pastries and a variety of desserts for children and adults. The most delicate pastries go well with fruits and berries, chocolate and nuts, creams, impregnations, liqueurs and syrups. Among dozens of options for preparing a delicacy that melts in your mouth, the lemonade biscuit recipe deserves special attention.

Sponge cake without hassle
Good day everyone! I want to share with you a gorgeous and very simple sponge cake recipe. As a rule, there is a lot of fuss with a sponge cake: beat the whites separately, then one thing, then another, and in the end. it will take it and fall in the oven. And this is a win-win recipe that always works! In addition, the sponge cake turns out very tender and airy.
Airy lemonade dough: preparation features
Before getting to know the recipe in more detail, let's look at its features and differences from a regular sponge cake.
First of all, it is important to know that you can use any lemonade for the dough.
The main thing is that it is fresh and always opened immediately before cooking. A drink left in an open container becomes slightly carbonated, and accordingly, the dough with the addition of such lemonade cannot turn out very fluffy and airy.
Open the soda just before making the dough!
As for the taste of the drink, you should focus only on personal preferences. Lemonade will add a unique “zest” to the dish, depending on which drink you choose.
So, lovers of pear flavor will love the biscuit with the addition of Duchess. And for those who prefer to enjoy vanilla-citrus notes, we recommend trying to prepare the dough using the familiar “Citro” or “Fanta”. A pie or cake with layers based on Tarragon will turn out to be original. And, of course, the spicy aroma of cola is beyond competition...
Remember?
You can replace lemonade with regular carbonated water.
What will change in this case? This will not affect the structure of the dough - it will also rise well and the cake will turn out fluffy. However, the taste and aroma that are inherent in a drink with various additives will not be in the biscuit.
If you are cooking in the oven:
- To begin, we preheat our oven to 180 degrees.
- We need a fairly high form, since the dessert rises quite high.
- We send it to bake for about 25-30 minutes until fully cooked, but do not immediately take it out of the oven.
- After the time has passed, we will leave it to cool in the switched off oven for another 20 minutes.
- Then, we take it out and turn it over onto the stand. If you did everything correctly, the sponge cake will be approximately 10-12 cm high.
- Decorate the lemonade sponge cake as you please. You can serve it just like that or divide it into 2 parts with confectionery thread and grease it with filling.
That's all. We have prepared a lemonade sponge cake with a simple recipe that you can easily master in any conditions. In addition, it turns out very tall and literally airy, which will allow you to add any filling to it. Can you already imagine how surprised your loved ones will be when you tell them that you prepared such a miracle yourself?
The method of making biscuit dough with the addition of lemonade is relatively new and quite convenient. Despite the ease of preparation, the finished soda pies turn out very fluffy and soft. Instead of lemonade, you can take any sparkling water, even champagne or regular sparkling mineral water. The taste and color of lemonade give the biscuit a pleasant aftertaste and a slight color tint, which makes this pastry original and unique.
Secrets of positive reviews
Yes, this biscuit turns out almost always, and it has many fans of all ages online. Let's try to explain what the magic is here:
- Well-beaten eggs themselves provide porosity to the dough. A sponge cake simply cannot fail to rise if you took fresh eggs for it and beat them with sugar for at least 10 minutes. Therefore, no additional baking powder is ever added to the classic version.
- Most lemonade dough recipes still add baking powder. The baking powder “insures” the biscuit and makes it rise a little higher.
- The multicooker bakes at a low temperature, but for a long time. Many housewives note that any dough in a slow cooker rises higher than in the oven.
- Finally, you will agree that lemonade, in addition to gas, also has the charm of a favorite aroma from childhood.
Lemonade is the sweet taste of childhood
Ingredients
The standard set of products for a “carbonated” sponge cake differs little from the classic butter sponge cake dough. It consists of:
- Sahara;
- flour;
- baking powder;
- lemonade;
- vegetable oil.
You can also bake a meatless or vegetarian sponge cake without eggs, or even a chocolate sponge cake. If you wish, you can add vanilla, cinnamon, and other spices to the dough.
Sugar, flour and eggs - the basis of biscuit dough
Don't forget the basic rules for making sponge cake, which will help you achieve great results.
- The container in which you will beat the eggs must be clean, dry and grease-free.
- It is better to grind the sugar into powder in a coffee grinder, so it will dissolve faster.
- Eggs should not be chilled. When whipping, add a little lemon juice and a pinch of fine salt to them.
- Be sure to sift the flour through a sieve so that it is saturated with oxygen, does not form lumps and gives the dough airiness.
- Do not open the oven door for at least the first 15 minutes of baking to prevent the cake from settling.
- If you have a convection oven, preheat it not to 180, but to 170 degrees.
- Place a container of water at the bottom of the oven - steam is needed to raise the dough.
Oven or slow cooker?
Lemonade sponge cake can be baked in the oven or in a slow cooker. If you follow all the rules for preparing and baking sponge dough, the cake rises equally well in both cases. However, you should know the intricacies of the operation of your multicooker, as well as an electric or gas oven, because very often the cake that has not risen high enough or is not baked is a consequence of an incorrectly set baking mode or incorrect operation of the device.
For example, due to uneven heating in the oven, the cake may rise with a hump. To avoid this, place another baking tray on top. If you know that the baked goods begin to burn on the bottom during the baking process, place a container filled with water under the baking sheet before turning on the oven.
Why does this recipe have so many positive reviews?
You remember how biscuit dough is made, right? You need to separate the whites from the yolks, beat them separately, monitor the volume and consistency of the resulting foam and mix the ingredients very carefully, otherwise the cakes will not rise and bake. And yet, failure often awaits us: either the oven is heated unevenly, or someone slammed the door too loudly - and now the dough rises on one side and sag on the other. Sound familiar?
With lemonade, this problem disappears for you. Carbon dioxide will work no worse than yeast in yeast dough. The cakes rise high and evenly and are perfectly baked on all sides thanks to the delicate and airier structure of the dough.
Highly carbonated lemonade will not only make the dough airy and porous, but will also give the biscuit additional taste and aroma
Note! Only fresh, highly carbonated lemonade is suitable for this test. If the soda has run out of steam after sitting for even a little while without a lid, you won’t be able to use it for baking.
.
In addition, lemonade will add flavor and aroma to your sponge cake. You can use absolutely any sweet soda to your taste: citro, orange, cherry, cola, classic “Lemonade”, “Tarragon”, “Pinocchio”...
If you want a biscuit with a classic flavor, but the idea of a tall, airy cake can’t get out of your head, use regular carbonated mineral water instead of sweet lemonade.
In which household device to bake a lemonade sponge cake is also not a fundamental question. Personally, from my own experience I have already realized that there is practically no difference. Both in the slow cooker and in the oven, the cakes rise and bake equally well. The main thing is not to forget the rule: after the end of the baking time, you cannot take out the biscuit immediately; you must leave it inside the switched off oven or in the multicooker bowl on the heating mode for some more time. For a slow cooker this is usually 60 minutes, for an oven - 20 minutes.
Main ingredients and possible additives
If you are eager to please your loved ones with a sumptuous delicacy, you should first stock up on the necessary ingredients. The main ingredients of this biscuit are eggs, flour, sugar and, in fact, lemonade.
Depending on the recipe, the list of ingredients may also include:
- vegetable oil;
- baking powder for the dough;
- vanillin;
- cocoa powder;
- ground cinnamon;
- anise, star anise, mint and other spices to taste.
Chef of the Moscow White Rabbit restaurant Vladimir Mukhin suggests using matcha green tea as an original additive to the dough. As a result of such an experiment, you can get an unusual biscuit with a rich green color and a tart taste.
Among the many recipes for lemonade cake, there is also a vegan one. In this case, eggs are not used to prepare the dough, and potato, corn or wheat starch acts as a binding component.
It is best to use cornstarch as a substitute for eggs: 1 tablespoon of powder will replace 1 medium egg.
Lenten chocolate sponge cake
This recipe makes it possible to prepare rich, flavorful, dense baked goods. Lenten cocoa sponge cake is especially good with cherries or blueberries - add one of these berries to the dough and you have a full-fledged pie.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour;
- half a glass of sugar;
- 2 teaspoons cocoa;
- half a glass of vegetable oil (any odorless);
- 1 lemon;

Do not confuse wet biscuits with regular dry ones, since vegetable oil is added to their composition - such desserts require more baking time and should be cut only after they have completely cooled!
Technology Basics
So, we are preparing a biscuit with a photo that will help you understand all the intricacies of the process. Why lemonade? It's not all about taste - the main processes occur at the molecular level. The highly carbonated drink works on the same principle as a mixture of vinegar and soda. It is thanks to the carbon dioxide bubbles that the dough turns out so tender.
The role of taste has not been canceled. Just imagine: a lemonade sponge cake is just baking in the oven, and a tempting aroma, familiar to everyone since childhood, will already spread throughout the house.
There is only one condition - the lemonade must be fresh. If the bottle has been left open for at least a few hours, it’s better not to risk it. Carbon dioxide tends to quickly erode and the processes that we need for the result simply will not happen.
Required Products
To prepare a lemonade sponge cake in the oven, the recipe must be strictly followed. We will need the following set of products:
- highly carbonated drink - 1 glass 250 ml;
- chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
- granulated sugar - 1.5 tbsp;
- vanilla sugar or vanillin - 1 tsp;
- vegetable oil (refined) - 1 tbsp.;
- flour - 3 tbsp;
- baking powder - 10 g.
In order to prepare a sponge cake with lemonade, you should not use aromatic homemade sunflower oil. Its rich smell will cover up any other, including the rather expressive smell of a carbonated drink. Therefore, it is better to take neutral, refined sunflower, corn or olive oil. To make the eggs beat better, you need to keep them in the refrigerator for a short time before cooking.
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla thoroughly with a mixer. Without stopping whipping, pour in the vegetable oil, and then immediately the lemonade. Add the flour mixed with baking powder in stages, continuing to mix with the mixer. The finished dough has a consistency similar to thick sour cream. All that remains is to move the dough into a greased pan and bake.
Lemon Lenten Biscuit
A porous, airy sponge cake with a light citrus flavor will be appropriate for the holiday table and during tea drinking. You can replace lemon juice and zest with orange juice or go further and add lime and grapefruit. It is important that the fruit has sourness.
Ingredients:
- 1 lemon;
- 300 gr. flour;
- 70 ml. vegetable oil (you can use any oil that is odorless);
- 2 tablespoons wine or apple cider vinegar;
- 1 teaspoon of soda;
- 100 gr. Sahara;
- ½ teaspoon salt.
Cooking in the oven
You can bake a lemonade sponge cake in the oven. The recipe was originally invented for her. It is recommended to turn on the oven in advance so that it has time to warm up to 180 degrees. You can use any baking dish: silicone, metal, cast iron. The main condition is high sides. Don't forget that the carbon dioxide will do its job and the dough will rise a lot.
The lemonade sponge cake bakes quite quickly - about half an hour. Another important condition for a good result is not to take out the finished baked goods right away, but to let them stand in the cooling oven for about 20 minutes. The oven door should not be opened slightly at this time.
How to cook in a slow cooker?
Do you like to use a slow cooker for cooking? You can also use it for delicious baked goods.
To prepare you will need:
about 250 ml of regular lemonade; a spoonful of baking powder; 200 ml vegetable oil; a little vanillin; 3-4 eggs; 400 grams of flour; sugar - to taste.
Cooking process:
To prepare a lemonade sponge cake in a slow cooker, as in the recipe using an oven, start by beating the eggs and sugar. Then pour in liquid products - vegetable oil and lemonade. Use the mixer again. The last step is flour, pre-mixed with baking powder. Whisk everything thoroughly and place in a multicooker cup. Set the mode to “Baking” for 40-60 minutes.
Children of progress
Happy owners of multicookers and bread makers can also prepare such baked goods. Lemonade sponge cake, the recipe for which has already been tested in the oven, can also be baked using modern technology. With a bread machine, everything is clear and understandable without further ado: load the products directly into the dough mixer bowl, select the “Biscuit” or “Cake” program (depending on the oven model), following the instructions, press the necessary buttons and wait.
There will be no difficulties with a multicooker either. Place the kneaded dough into the bowl and set the baking time to 60 minutes. After completion, add the same amount.
In both cases, after completion, turn off the equipment and leave the sponge cake with lemonade inside the oven for about 20 minutes. When it has cooled, remove it from the bowl and place it on a dish.
Variety of flavors
To make a delicious sponge cake using this recipe, you can use more than just lemonade. Feel free to experiment with other flavors!
Coca-Cola gives a very unusual effect. Such a biscuit will enjoy unprecedented success, for example, at a teenagers' party. “Fanta”, taken as a basis, will give baked goods a bright and expressive citrus aroma, and the color of the dough will be simply sunny. In general, to make a delicious biscuit, feel free to use any of your favorite drinks. The main condition is that they be carbonated.
Decorate and serve
If you follow all the cooking rules, the lemonade sponge cake will turn out fluffy and tall. The dough will rise well and air bubbles will form inside. The color of the dough itself depends on what drink is used for the base. For example, cherry or raspberry juice will give the biscuit a pink tint.
The tall sponge cake is easily cut into cake layers using a long sharp knife or a kitchen line. They can be soaked in syrup, greased with cream, layered with soufflé, and filled with fruit. It all depends on your imagination.
This pastry goes well with buttercream and chocolate cream. Light meringue also goes well with it.
Since the taste of the biscuit is quite expressive and rich, it can be prepared not only for an ordinary family tea party, but also for a holiday.
