    I made the diet pop cake as suggested by another user. It's just a box of cake mix, and 12 oz of diet pop (my son is allergic to eggs, so it is GREAT - I obviously skipped the egg whites). It worked SO well, and was very tasty! Then I expanded the concept to pancakes, and it was perfect (again egg and dairy free!).

    Highly recommended!

    This is WONDERFUL advice. I too am very allergic to eggs, mainly the yolks so desserts are OUT but this I may try. I also like to look up vegan cake recipes I love me some Vegan Brownies!!!!! YOU ALL WOULD NEVER KNOW!!!!!!

    It is a great recipe. I had learned it from Weight Watchers right before the holidays a few years back and I loved it. I could even get my husband to eat it with a little fat free cool whip. I had always done chocolate cake mix and 1 can of Diet Pepsi (no egg). But the idea of yellow/white cake mix with Diet Ginger Ale sounds VERY good. I will have to try that soon! Thanks for the tip. :wink:

    i'd make it with lemon cake mix and a pineapple or lemon soda.

    i'd probably make my opwn whipped cream for the icing as well.

    My newest concoction is to "ice" them with low fat nutriwhip - the icing is only 30 calories total!!!!!

    I made a diet pop cake on the weekend (but used Perrier because my sister is pregnant and doesn't want the aspartame) and iced it with the Nutriwhip and made a strawberry shortcake - it was sooooo good!
    :tongue:

    I made a strawberry cake with diet creme soda topped with about 1/3 Fat free cream cheese and 2/3 fat free coold whip and fresh strawberries....my husband and son loved it!!! My husband ate 2 servings and called me from work this morning to make sure I save him some of it. He claims it rates up there with his all time favorite desert-Pepperidge Farm golden layer cake.

    Couldn't believe how easy and I assume good it is- I ran out of calories last night so I haven't eaten any yet.

    Does your cake actually rise?
    I tried this last spring with mystudents and there was little rising and it was sticky....any pointers? I didn't have them use eggs at all, is that what I am missing?:grumble:

    We used a whole bunch of kinds, I think either a plain white cake or a strawberry one would be the best option.

    It didn't rise as much as a standard recipe but was fine.

    Hmmmm.....what size pan do you use? I had them using a 9x13 pan...it was maybe 2 inches max in height. Should I have them try a square pan?
