    I tried a WW recipe years ago and it was great. It seems to get even more moist after a day or two of sitting in the fridge.

    Weight Watchers Pistachio Cake

    CAKE
    18 1/4 ounces white cake mix
    3 egg whites
    2 1/2 cups diet 7-Up

    FROSTING
    1 (1 ounce) package sugar-free instant pistachio pudding
    8 ounces fat-free cool whip (small)
    1 cup diet 7-Up

    Directions:
    1 Mix all ingredients together.

    2 Spray 13 x 9 pan.

    3 Bake at 350°F for 30 - 35 minutes. Test cake top by lightly touching the center which should feel slightly firm and will slightly spring back to the touch.

    4 (Cool cake completely before frosting.).

    5 Mix together frosting ingredients and spread over cake.

    6 Refrigerate until ready to eat and hold in the fridge for up to two weeks!

    7 Enjoy!

    We use soda, cake mixes, and a can of pie filling to make (in a dutch oven) coblers and such when while out camping. Never tried it with diet soda though.

    I'm sure the sugars, fat, and most of the calories are eliminated during the cooking process.

    :wink:

    It totally works! I don't know about cupcakes, but I know it works for a cake.

    I made this with yellow cake mix and diet ginger ale! I'm not a huge fan of the 'fake' ingredients, but the cupcakes were great! No one knew :smile:

    Sorry to disappoint you, but sugar turns into fat. Not good for you, if you're trying to lose weight... Unfortunately we all have to give ip the sweet things :/ but totally worth it in the end!

    ummm I lost well over 100 pounds and I didn't give up anything. Its about moderation.

    My daughter made this when I started back on WW. It was awesome. You could taste a bit of difference, but not much! I love the diet cherry pops with the chocolate cakes!
