I made a chocolate cake last night for the first time usin the Diet soda recipe that I Have been hearing about. The cake tasted fantastic but it is super dense and looks more like brownies. Did I do something wrong or has anyone else had those results?

    Here is another recipe we love which is similar.....Jello Poke Cake

    Mix one can of diet sierra mist or any diet white soda (can even use diet orange soda) with a white cake mix and bake at 350.
    While still warm, poke holes all over cake. Mix up a small box of sugar free jello (use orange if you used the orange jello...we like cherry jello, then pour it on top of cake and let it soak in the holes. Then cover the top with fat free cool whip when cool...Keep refrigerated....super yummy!

    Is this like chocolate cola cake? I wanted to try with diet coke but I thought what the hell, it's going to be so high in calories and fat anyway! Love it though. And yes, mine was like brownies too. Soooo good.

    I just used a can of Diet Coke with a chocolate cake mix and yes is was very good and not sure how it alters the nutrition facts I am guessing just using the nutrition facts on the box of the mix before baking since the diet soday has no calories or fat...I love to bake so I am hoping that I can come up with a better low fat low cal recipe on my own without using a mix.

    You would have to enter it in the recipe builder. I think it is under 200 for a 12th of the pan.

    Hmm- I only make cakes with diet soda and they always come out like cake. I don't follow a recipe though; I just pour to the consistency of the batter (I'm new and didn't see the original recipe- but I just do boxed mix and soda). Everyone is always amazed and can't tell the difference.
