Fanta was developed by the German branch of [[The Coca-Cola Company]] during [[World War II]] because [[trade embargo]]es made some typical [[soft drink]] ingredients difficult to obtain in [[Nazi Germany]]. Fanta became popular as a beverage and a [[Sugar substitute|sweetener]] in other dishes, such as cakes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/this-german-cake-uses-fanta-as-flavouring-learn-how-to-make-this-fun-dessert-3771466 |title=This German Cake Uses 'Fanta' as Flavouring - Learn How to Make This Fun Dessert |first=Toshita |last=Sahni |date=10 February 2023 |website=NDTV Food |language=en |access-date=11 April 2024 |archive-date=3 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240403131831/https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/this-german-cake-uses-fanta-as-flavouring-learn-how-to-make-this-fun-dessert-3771466 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The Ultimate World War Two Trivia Book |first1=Richard |last1=Denham |first2=M.

== Ingredients and mixture ==
[[File:Fanta Cake.png|thumb|Fanta cake with orange icing]]
The [[Batter (cooking)|cake batter]] usually includes basic ingredients such as [[flour]], [[Eggs as food|eggs]], [[sugar]], and [[butter]], and Fanta. The soda helps create a light texture and adds a subtle [[Orange (fruit)|orange]] flavour, which is then complemented by a rich topping, often made from sour cream, vanilla [[pudding]], and [[fruit]]. Some recipes also incorporate [[Zest (ingredient)|orange zest]] or orange-flavoured icing to amplify the [[citrus]] notes.
