    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!

    Not true. I love sweets and love baking. I've lost 50lbs and didn't stop enjoying treats..

    I prefer the cake mix and can of Pumpkin recepie. It has lots of fiber and it is about 150 calories per muffin when you make 16.

    Love these!

    I do it every time and it is wonderful. Last night I actually used it for gluten free cake mix and it was great.

    I haven't done diet soda with cake mix, but I have used Egg Beaters and unsweetened applesauce in lieu of eggs and oil and it was very moist and delicious.

    First off, thanks for posting about this. I would love to have an alternative way of making a cake for when I decide to have it, and I am sure that the time will come. Contrary to some of the posts about the horrors of having cake, I think we can each make our own decisions on when to splurge and on what. Being on MFP is a way of teaching us how to manage what we eat and keeping within limits and keeping it reasonable.

    I will keep this idea on my bulletin board for the upcoming holidays.

    I recently discovered the diet soda and cake mix. I personally mixed a can of diet orange soda from Publix (made with Splenda) and a box of yellow cake. I personally thought it was more moist and dense than regular cake and would choose it over a traditionally baked cake any day.

    Also, this weekend I tried a different recipe: a can of pumpkin puree and a box of spice cake. Made muffins instead of a cake and sprinkled a tiny bit of cinnamon sugar on top of each muffin and they were amazing. Made 12 muffins at 170 calories a piece. My husband wants me to go get ingredients to make more ASAP.
