**White Cake Soda**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 cup of water
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
– 1/2 cup of heavy cream
– Club soda or seltzer water
– Ice cubes
– Whipped cream and sprinkles for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by making the simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a clear syrup.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract. This flavorful syrup will be the base of our White Cake Soda.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream; we want a smooth and creamy texture for our soda.
4. To assemble the White Cake Soda, fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour about 1/4 cup of the prepared simple syrup over the ice.
5. Slowly pour the club soda or seltzer water into the glass, allowing it to mix with the sweet syrup. Leave a little room at the top for the whipped cream.
6. Using a spoon, gently dollop the whipped cream on top of the soda. The cream will float on the fizzy drink, creating a beautiful layered effect.
7. For a finishing touch, add a swirl of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired. This extra touch gives your White Cake Soda a fun and festive flair.
8. Grab a straw, give your soda a gentle stir to blend the flavors, and enjoy the creamy, fizzy goodness of this unique beverage!
With its delicate vanilla and almond notes, the White Cake Soda is a delightful twist on traditional soda flavors. It’s a lovely drink to serve at a brunch gathering, birthday celebration, or simply as a treat for yourself on a lazy afternoon. Get creative with your garnishes, or even try experimenting with different extracts to customize the flavors to your liking. We hope this recipe brings a touch of sweetness and joy to your day!
