Devil's Food TWU (closest thing to a black cake I could find)

Green sodas TMDWU

Dew goes good with everything. Chocolate and spiced apple soda taste good together. This is going to taste exquisid.
It's not terrible. The Beetlejuice soda is weirdly prevalent, and it leaves a bigger impression in the cake than the Dew, despite me using less of it, and it lingers for a long time as an aftertaste. But, both of the sodas, together, just cancel out the chocolate flavor.
I don't want to ice it, because I don't know what icing would be complementary? But it would help. Not using water makes these cakes very crumbly, I've found. ...y'know maybe bacon bits would improve it. The saltiness would enhance the chocolate part. Hm.
5/10 it's very mid, and the Beetlejuice soda flavor aftertaste is weird.
Husband says 4/10, "it just tastes like nothing"
