I heard this at Weight Watchers. Delicious cake idea. If you don't want to eat all the fatty, doughy cakes out there, try this light recipe and people will be licking their fingers off! Take a prepackaged cake mix (from any grocery store, Betty Crocker, etc) and instead of using the ingredients listed on the back like eggs or oil, mix it with a can of diet coke. Works best with a chocolate or fudge mix. For whiter mixes like lemon powder or vanilla, mix in a can of diet 7up. Yum!

I made a Devils Food Cake with diet coke last night and had to come online to tell you how much I love you!!!!! I didn't believe it could be true, but it was. It is way fluffier and lighter and satisfied my desire for sweets. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Someone asked the calories for the entire cake and mine was 370. The piece I had was 57 and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Here's the info for a whole box of chocolate cake mix http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/item.php?item_id=18099& size=2 2243 calories for the whole box of mix. Divided by 12 = 186 a piece. Divided by 18 = 124

Has anyone tried this with the reduced sugar cake mixes from Pillsbury?

Original Post by karefreeman: Has anyone tried this with the reduced sugar cake mixes from Pillsbury? I haven't seen those - must look for them. One reason I don't make diet coke cake is that you get all the sugar in the cake mix. The only thing you take out is the fat and eggs. I never could see much advantage to making it. The other reason is that it's way too sweet - you still have all the sugar, and then diet soda on top of that - double sweet.

1 regular box cake to 1 regular can of diet cola or sprite or whatever. Clairellaine, they make the icing too. Both still have some sugar but only about half.

I made the cupcakes using the reduced sugar cake mix and a can of Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper. Without any additions 24 cupcakes came to 80 calories each. I put dried fuit in mine though which brings the calories up to 97.5 each. I have to say they are delicious! This would be great with cool whip and fresh fruit. You could even make cakes like 'little debbie' and fill them with cool whip.

could you make low calorie cookies with a cookie mix and diet soda?

Original Post by karefreeman: Has anyone tried this with the reduced sugar cake mixes from Pillsbury? I have! I made it with egg beaters instead of eggs and applesauce instead of oil. That only adds like 10 calories per slice and it was really good! I've never tried diet coke though. Sounds weird but I might have to test it out sometime.
