Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix + Diet Cream Soda = Perfect (& PRETTY!) Party Cake :drinker:

PER SERVING (1/12th of cake): 180 calories, 3.5 fat, 306mg sodium, 36g carbs, <1g fiber, 23g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 4*

Cake mix and diet soda? Awesome. Pretty colors? Also awesome. Fat-slashed cake with beautiful dots of color? SIGN US UP! Stir together a can of diet cream soda with a box of Funfetti cake mix. Don't add ANY of the other stuff the box tells you to add... Just the soda. Then simply bake according to package instructions, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Hooray for gorgeous guilt-free cake!

Got this from the Hungry girl website. Just thougth I would share...

    OMGEEEEE I love funfetti cake!! What did you frost it with? I'm not a fan of fat-free anything, so no cool whip for me. Too bad there's not a low cal frosting that tastes like frosting! :)

    There are a bunch of variations of this recipe that have been around for years (passed around a LOT at WW meetings) ...

    White cake w/ diet sprite
    Devils food cake w/ Diet cherry coke
    lemon cake with diet orange soda (never tried this one myself)...

    But its definitely a good alternative to the higher calorie version! Thanks for sharing & reminding some of us!

    This sounds so good. I have made I cream cookies before by using the canned pumpkin and a spice cake mix for the cookies and then using cool whip between them and freezing them.

    Courtney... Try mixing half coolwhip and half vanilla frosting. It takes away from the fat free taste but lowers the cals of reg frosting.

    I've had fun fetti cake mix in my pantry for a month now - still trying to locate diet cream soda. Maybe a good thing because cream soda and vodka are my fave!:drinker:

    Use Zevia natural soda if you're concerned with the artifical sweetners in diet soda, I made a Devil foods, with Black cherry Zevia,, and topped with Hershey's Dark Chocolate Chips, and then once cooled sprinkled with powdered sugar!!! YUMMY!!!!
