Hi everybody

I was browsing around and found a recipe for a low cal chocolate cake. How real is this option to replace eggs with diet coke?

The video if you want to see: http://youtu.be/fKWKaAt6lro

    I've made cake using a gluten-free cake mix and a can of diet soda. Turns out pretty decently, but it doesn't rise as high as it would with the eggs and oil in it. I cut mine into bars and froze some of them.

    I think Pepsi would mess with the flavor, sprite would blend in with most types of pastries. Personally, my best bet would be to replace the eggs needed with 1/2 a banana each( for leavening) and replace the oil with milk to help keep it moist and should help with the texture as well.
    TLDR; You can use soda, but Pepsi and chocolate? ew.

    It will work. But add 1/4 cup applesauce so it will hold together.
