I'm just wondering what kind of Diet Soda Cakes everyone has made? What is great? What is gross?

If you aren't familiar with the Diet Soda Cake (aka Diet Coke Cake), it is really easy to make. One cake mix + 12 oz of diet soda = Diet Soda Cake. No eggs, oil or water needed.

(Please note and respect: This is a pro-diet coke cake thread. There has been debate over the healthiness of diet soda cake - processed foods vs. natural - this is not the place for that. If you are interested in reading that debate search "diet coke cake" and you will find it)

Here are the combos I've tried:

Strawberry Cake Mix and Sprite Zero = Good, not amazing but yummy. 7/10 stars
Chocolate Cake Mix and Sprite Zero = Yummy, chocolate! Great tasting batter. 8/10 stars
White Cake Mix and Diet Crush Soda = Super good! Not much of an orange flavor, but good flavor over all 8.5/10 stars

    The calories are a bit less than making a normal cake. I just add the cake mix + 1 serving of soda for the calories/sodium/etc.
    The Chocolate Fudge one was 160 calories and the White Cake/Crush was also 160 calories. That is for 1/12 a cake (makes 12 cupcakes very nicely)

    I use Hansen's natural cherry vanilla soda (a little like Dr. Pepper but clear with better ingredients) with Funfetti mix. It's not diet, but I don't do artificial sweetners. SO light and fluffy!

    I like to do a white poke cake with sprite/7-up and pour sugar-free cherry jello-over it (just after mixing with water) and let it set in the refrigerator. Then top it off with some fat free or sugar free cool whip - YUM!!!

    I made orange crush cake with white cake. I poked the top and poured sugar free jello on top chilled it then topped it with fat free cool whip and mandarin oranges. I served this to people that definately werent healthy eaters and they loved it.

    There are also some "Sugar Free" cake mixes out there now. That should drop the calories by some!
