Hello!

I am making my first batch of Diet Soda cupcakes tomorrow - can't wait! Do you think I can use Diet Sprite with Strawberry cake mix? I don't want them to come out tasting funny.

Thanks so much.

    I've never had any diet soda cake that came out tasting bad - in ANY combination! Let us know if it's good :smile:

    Diet Cherry and Coke Zero Cherry are great in chocolate cake mix!

    I used to do this all the time and have tried so many variations. One of my favorites is a lemon cake mix with Black Cherry Fresca! OMG! I actually served it at a dinner party, with grilled pineapple, and FF cool whip. It went over great and no one knew my little secret!

    For chocolate Diet Root Beer is my favorite!

    FYI... Keep in mind that the top of the muffins stay really really moist and get sticky after the 2nd day. If you have a cupcake holder it keeps them from sticking to one another.

    Enjoy!!!

    All you do is take any regular box cake mix and add a can of room temperature soda. That's it!

    They say dark soda with dark cake mix and light soda with light cake mix. That's why I wasn't sure what to do with strawberry cake mix!

    Enjoy.

    okay, so no eggs, water or oil? Just soda and cake mix? Just want to clarify, it sounds like a really good idea to bring in to the girls at work (who are all watching what they eat).. But I was wondering... Betty Crocker just came out with Gluten Free cake mixes, do you think it would work with this?

    Thanks for any information... I've actually never heard of this before!

    Personally, I add an egg (or sometimes just an egg white) because it makes them a bit fluffier.
    I usually do white cake mix with orange/strawberry/black cherry/lemon lime soda, or really any flavor. Some people swear by white cake and root beer. A whole lot of people also like Devil's Food cake mix with Diet Cherry Pepsi or something.

    Yup - cake mix and diet soda - that's it!

    Apparently the carbonation helps make the cupcakes super light and fluffy.

    We tried a vanilla cake with diet orange soda and lite whipped topping. My kids liked it better than regular cake!

    I made these last week, I used lemon cake mix and diet squirt ....yummmmmy!
    I did as some others suggested and added TWO egg whites, Very light and fluffy, I made mine into cupcakes and added a dollop of ff cool whip, Very very good.

    Had a hard time not eating more than one. I am weak and tempted by home baked goodies. Be careful you will need willpower.
    Enjoy!
