Do you make the cake as directed and add the can too or do you replace an ingredient with the can of pop?

One box of cake mix - one can of soda - that's it, nothing else !!!

Hello everyone. I came across a homemade pop tart recipe on a craft forum I belong to. I figure it would go with the cakes and pies, since it uses pie crust for the pop tart shell. I haven't made this yet, but plan to when the heat breaks here in Seattle.

It is great to make in summer when the fresh fruit is available, but it can be done with frozen when fresh are not available.


Homemade Pop Tarts Recipe

23 min | 15 min prep
12 pop tarts

For Pie Crust
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons cold water

For Filling
• 1/2 cup jam (your choice)

For Glaze
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 ounces milk, to thin
• candy sprinkles

1. Preheat oven to 450°F

2. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add shortening and butter and blend with a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands. Blend until mixture is fairly coarse. Add water, 1 tablespoons at a time, gently mixing dough after each addiction until dough forms a ball.

3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. To about 1/8 thickness. Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Repeat until dough runs out.

4. Take one pie crust rectangle and lace 1 teaspoons of jam on top. Cover with another piece of pie crust and crimp all four edges. Repeat with the rest of dough. Place Pop-tarts on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake for 7-8 minutes.

5. While pop-tarts are baking, make glaze. Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Pour milk in slowly until it has a consistency of really thick syrup. 1/2 a tablespoons to 1 tablespoons might be enough.

6. Once pop-tarts are done and cooled, top with glaze. Sprinkle and decorate with colorful sprinkle.
For cherry filling just whisk some cherry pie filling until smooth.

For Chocolate add coco powder to the dough and just add bits of chocolate into the middle.

For S'mores add some graham cracker to the crust and then put chocolate chunks and marshmallows for the filling.

My mother, a product of the Great Depression, was great at taking something simple and making something wonderful - food, sewing, whatever. She called this Poke Cake. Our friends call it the Picnic Cake; I've shared the recipe with many after a couple of gatherings and now someone always brings it to a picnic.
