Sounds like an oxymoron lol-

Anyone ever try the cake mix and diet soda cake/cupcakes? Or the pudding mix and fat free yogurt frosting?

    I have done carrot cake mix with diet ginger ale, with vanilla yogurt as frosting,

    and strawberry cake mix with diet sprite, with fat free cool whip as frosting with a fresh berry on top of each slice.

    Both were a hit and nobody at the party knew it was a "diet" cake.

    I do mini cupcakes with pumpkin and chocolate cake mix. I just put the recipe into the food section. Basically mix a can of pure pumpkin with chocolate or spice cake mix and about a cup of water, put into mini muffin pans and bake for about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean! 90 calories for about 3. And sooo yummy!:tongue::tongue:

    I make the Hungry Girl Yum Yum Brownie Muffins. It is one box of cake mix and one can of solid pumpkin. It takes a lot of stirring because it is so thick. Don't add water or anything else. Bake at 200 degrees for twenty minutes. Makes 12 regular or 36 mini cupcakes. I make the regular size and they have about 180 calories. It is listed in the food data base. Everybody loves them. Hungry girl made them on her show Saturday.

    1 box of cake mix and an 8oz can of soda. I guess u have to use ur better judgement for which to use sprite seems to be the best option for most. I hear to use a chocolate or cream soda for chocolate cake

    OMG I was just trying to decide what to do with some frozen pumpkin I made from fresh pumpkin about a month ago and this would be the greatest. Do you have a brand of choice for you chocolate cake mix?

    It's 12 ounces of soda, not 8,
    not sure if it would come out too dry with just 8...

    I have heard cola for chocolate cake, but haven't tried it.

    Anyone tried the cupcakes from the Cook Yourself Thin book? I have the book, but haven't had a sweet tooth since giving up dessert, so I haven't tried them. I figure if I am not craving it, then I am not going to try and make a substitute yet! Just wondering if anyone was familiar with that recipe.
