| Does anyone know if you can make a Jello Poke Cake out of this? That's one of my favorite summer deserts and it would be great to have it. | ||

| I don't see why not, linda. You could use the sugar free jello. | ||

| I had to look up poke cake after seeing your post, Linda. I decided to make one tonight with SF Jello, I just put it in the fridge and I will find out tomorrow if it works or not. I'll let you know. :) | ||

Great Parre - can't wait to hear. I hope it's great and that you like it. I went ahead today and made a regular one with dark chocolate fudge cake because that's all I had on hand. It was great - almost like fudgy brownies, but I really wanted a cool, poke cake. I usually make one for the 4th of July with red or blue jello and put strawberries and blueberries on top. Hoping for good results! |

| Okay I have no idea what poke cake is actually supposed to taste like. The cake is delicious, though. If there are supposed to be actual pockets of Jello in it I don't think there are but it's still really good, and quite dense actually! All I can say is try it, if it's not the poke cake you are used to you will still enjoy it. :) | ||

| The whole idea of poke cake is, the jello spreads out into the cake, giving it an interesting texture and fruity flavor. The cake soaks it up like a sponge. | ||

| To a Duncan Hines chocolate fudge cake mix I added one whole can of Diet Coke. Nothing else. It came out very fudgy and good. | ||

I just tried mixing in diet Coke with Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix. It tasted pretty good, but it's crumbling everywhere and doesn't want to stay together. I couldn't even ice the sides of it as it would come apart on contact. Does anybody have an explanations/suggestions? |

| This doesn't help the situation with your red velvet cake, but just FYI. I kept my DH fudge cake in the pan and didn't frost it, but while it was very fudgy, each piece wanted to fall apart when I took it out of the pan. I think next time I'll add some egg white and see if that helps. | ||

I know this has been asked, but i just want to be sure. Where I live, diet sodas are made with aspartame and asesulfame. We don't have sodas with sucralose. Is it safe to use them? thank you very much |

I tried a new experiment with the same principle... 2 packages if Corn bread mix with 12 oz can of diet Sierra Mist. Bake at 400 dgrees until slightly bown... great, a little crumbly... but tasty No one in my office knew it was made with diet soda. |

| Can someone please answer Maria's question, because I would like to know as well. | ||

well, I know you shouldn't use asparatame in cooking because the heat does something to it, but I'm not well informed.
Since the cake mix already has a lot of sugar in it, I've never seen the point of adding more sweetness with diet soda. I bet it would work just fine with club soda. |

Maria, the Diet Coke I used in my DH fudge cake had aspartame in it. I don't see asesulfame in the ingredients list. It came out very fudge and was good. Amanda, in the above fudge cake each serving had 180 calories x 12 servings per box = 2160 for the whole cake. I have another mix that is 170 per serving so it does vary a bit. |
