    I had it at her house, she added egg whites, but it is unnecessary, the diet soda+cake mix is all you need.

    and now a word from our teacher:
    the reason it works is because soda is carbonated. it creates the bubbles, which are what is needed to make the cake rise. typically you use eggs and then you mix the batter for like 2 minutes. This creates bubbles in the eggs. since soda already has the bubbles, you just stir long enough to blend, no need to mix for any extended period of time, and ta-da! batter which is full of bubbles and will rise.
    since the oil and eggs are eliminated, so are the calories they contain. most cake mix packages have the calorie count for just the mix, which always seemed dumb (who's gonna eat dry powder?) but now makes perfect sense!

    This is how I've always made all my cakes... For frosting you can take a tub of cool whip (I use the cool whip free) and mix it with a package of pudding mix.... You can use the regular or the sugar free. It's awesome!
