Diet soda cake?

T0RIEELIZABETH

I knwo I've seen posts on here about making cake with diet soda, but how exactly do you do it? I want to make cupcakes and I see that you can save about 100 cals per slice of cake!

Cake mix & diet coke/sprite. Dark mixes use dark diet sodas & light mixes use clear diet sodas...that seems to work best.

Juicyyy

All you do is mix the cake batter with a can of diet soda. Nothing else required. Its pretty good, more like a sponge cake. If I am making a dark cake, chocolate etc...I use diet coke or diet cherry coke, if I am making a yellow cake or sponge cake use diet ginger ale or diet 7up something light. Let me know what you think. I think you will be surprised. I always add a spoonful of fat free whip cream and some strawberries to mine to complete the taste. Good Luck!!

devils food cake with diet dr pepper is really good---also yellow cake with diet orange is good too. just mix the cake mix with a can of diet and bake---really good and alot less calories!! enjoy!

As a baker, I have to say this idea sounds horrendous for so many reasons.

I've done it with diet Pepsi, you could taste it so it wasn’t the best. I hear vanilla and diet cream soda are a good combo. The cake mix itself is still very high in calories so I don’t really see the need to reduce the calories in something already very high but a reduction is better than full fat for sure. No cake is even better though

I use diet 7up or diet sprite if I don't want the pop flavour to come through.. but I have mixed chocolate with diet dr pepper.... or vanilla with diet orange crush.

Just one can for the whole box.

There is also a recipe for cake mix cookies. I made it a few times but can't remember what goes in it. Google it if you are interested.

I used Devil's Food Chocolate and Diet Rootbeer. I recommend using an egg white or two to help keep it together. I would store in an airtight container to keep moist, as they dry out easily if you don't.

It's SO good.

10oz diet soda
1 Box cake mix

Bake like the box says. It's yum-O. Here's my fav's....

White cake/diet sunkist
Lemon cake/diet sundrop (or mellow yellow if you're not in the south)
Strawberry cake/ diet cherry 7-up

I mixed 1/2 can of diet coke with sugar free brownies yesterday. Very good!

Here is a recipe:

Ingredients:

12 oz soda (Cola, Orange soda, Sprite, Ginger Ale, etc)

2 egg whites



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray only bottom of cake pan with cooking spray.
3. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, soda, and egg whites.
4. Pour into 9x13 cake pan.
5. Bake for recomended time on the cake box (different cake flavors vary). Set timer for the lowest recommended time, check with toothpick. If not done cook for the full time.

Final verdict? Amazing! The only difference was that they were kind of sticky.

What do u use for "icing?"

T0RIEELIZABETH

I used a 'whipped' icing by duncan hinze (sp?) I think. it was 100 cals for 2 tablespoons.

WE like cake and if we can have it w lower cals and fat then YAY US!!!!

So a cake mix usually says to use two or three eggs. When you make it with diet pop you don't put the eggs?

smareeh

No I did not use any eggs. I believe there is a recipe that calls for a couple egg whites but I just did dry mix and one can. Came out very moist.
