Mt. Dew Cake is so simple to make and its taste is out of this world! My hubby could not stop eating this cake and was raving about it. He even went to work and told his co workers about it and now eager they to make it! The ingredients are simple and I had most of them in my pantry or kitchen. My boys especially loved this dessert because I don't let them drink soda. They thought it was an awesome treat! It is so moist and delicious, the perfect desert for a special occasion.

This recipe is wonderful...I made it for the guys at work and it went fast...I got a lot of requests for the recipe. It was a very moist cake and not as lemony as I thought it would be. I used lemon and lime flavored olive oil to coat my cake pan which turned out to give it a nice flavor as well.

I used Mellow Yellow (my husband's favorite soda) instead of Mountain Dew. They turned out great!! They were super moist and so tasty!! It was a big hit!

I forgot to mention that I turned them into cupcakes. Perfect!

I am very excited to try this cake. There were a lot of recipes out there with pineapple topping, etc. but a good, plain, lightly glazed mountain dew cake is perfect as is. I was looking for a simple recipe that would produce a beautiful cake, and judging by the simplicity of the ingredients, and the rave reviews, it looks like I've found it! I am excited to try this out as soon as I pick up a box of lemon cake at the market.Will post a review on the finished cake as soon as I try it out.

If you will sift the powdered sugar before adding the Mountain Dew, before frosting, there will be very few lumps or mixing needed. I do like the cake. Very easy to make.

The edges and icing are delicious but the texture of the cake was a little off-putting to my family. Too much like a souffle. It looks just like the picture so I don't think I did anything wrong. Four eggs is a lot.

This is great! Tastes even better with pineapple inside and some coconut topping!
