  • 1 box Vanilla cake mix (preferably Betty Crocker) This serves as a convenient base for perfect texture.
  • 1 can Grape Crush soda Essential for flavor; do not replace with another soda.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, Grape Crush soda, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Gently fold in the purple grape jelly to ensure it gets evenly distributed throughout the batter.
