Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two loaf pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, carbonated water, and sour cream. Blend until smooth.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, smoothing the tops for even baking.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Cool the loaves in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth for the icing.
  7. Drizzle the icing over the cooled loaves and let set for about 10 minutes before slicing.
