    Tried two recipes tonight! These were WONDERFUL! Learned some things along the way too.

    In this first recipe I should have used two egg whites because it didn't stay together so well, but it had risen well when baking so I could have made more cupcakes out of it.
    Devil's Food Mix - (12 svg/box x 180 cals) = 2160 cals
    Diet Dr. Pepper - 0 cals
    1 egg white - 17 cals
    / 15 cupcakes = 145 calories each

    This one didn't rise as well so is a more flat cake. I made this in a 9 x 13 pan. Used 2 egg whites and it stays together better.
    Strawberry Cake Mix (170 cals per svg mix) = 2040
    Diet 7 Up - 0 cals
    2 egg whites - 34 cals
    / 15 pieces = 138 calories per piece

    Hope that helps those of you looking for calorie counts. You'll have to keep an eye on the cake mix that you buy as I noticed some had higher calorie counts than others.

    So these cakes really taste good even w/o icing?

    WOW!!! I made a batch of cupcakes this morning with reduced sugar yellow cake and sprite zero. THEY ARE DELICIOUS!!!! I also used egg beaters 100% real egg whites. I bought cool whip to top it with and didnt even need to use it. My boyfriend, who doesn't like any "healthy treats" devoured 4 of them already. I can't wait to try different combinations.

    Definitely worth trying!

    I was given this recipe by a friend I haven't tried it yet but it sounds really good.

    Erin’s Angel Food Cake

    You put the whole can of Pineapples, juice and all.

    1 box name-brand Angel Food Cake mix
    20 oz can crushed pineapple

    Combine the cake mix and the pineapple. Mix well.
    Bake in a 9X13 baking dish for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

    Makes 12 Servings. . .(if you don’t use a name brand angel food cake it wont get fluffy, it flattens out on you.)

    I made my first (but not the last!) one yesterday. I used a reduced sugar yellow cake mix with a can of diet orange crush. YUM! I only got one piece of it and my kids gobbled up the rest. I will be trying this again only using muffin cups instead of a cake pan because I found it a little difficult to cut.

    I'm wondering if it would work with sparkling water (like perrier)?

    I made cupcakes this weekend (chocolate cake and diet dr pepper) I added 2 egg whites and they were gobbled up!

    I usually make the cupcakes with Devils' food cake, and a can of diet cherry cola. I do add 1-2 eggs as well, and then you can calorie count it easily by adding all the totals together, and dividing by the number of cupcakes that you eat. I also freeze them in gallon size bags, and then when you want a treat, you can take ONE out. my husband LOVES these with ice cream, and I don't usually frost them. IF I take them somewhere I usually frost with FF Cool Whip.

    :smile: OK, I made a yellow cake mix with the 2 egg whites and the zero sprite. I made this into cupcakes and it was great. I top mine with a small amount of coolwhip. Next week I'm going to try german chocolate cake mix with another kind of diet soda. I'm hooked and my husband likes it too.:wink:

    i made cupcakes with yellow cake and sprite zero (and i did use egg whites) and they were delicious! my family loved them, and they couldn't tell why they tasted kind of different in a good way (i didn't tell them i skipped the oil you're supposed to put in). this recipe is definately a winner :)

    I have also made a spice cake and used a can of pumpkin. Nothing else, just a can of pumpkin. It is yummy. If you make the coke cake and put it in muffin cups you really don't need any frosting. My grandsons love the cupcakes.





    just to ask a dumb question just the mix and can of pumpkin, nothing else???
