Hungry Girl’s Club Soda Chocolate Cake


Chocolate cake is usually a diet disaster, but it doesn’t have to be. TV host, author and "foodologist" Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien’s trick is the perfect way to shave off some unwanted calories. By using club soda instead of normal baking ingredients, you can cut out 100 extra calories per slice! How’s that for an easy swap?

Makes 12 Servings

Ingredients:

1 (18.25 oz) box moist-style dark chocolate cake mix

1 (12 oz) can club soda


Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with soda until smooth. Pour into the pan. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Slice into 12 pieces and enjoy!
