I am sure this has been posted before but I am confused by what I see online. Some recipes call for just the cake mix and diet soda, some want eggs.

What have you guys had success with? I have devils food cake mix and diet dr pepper cherry. I have real eggs too
I just want to know what needs to go in so the cake stays together and my family can enjoy it.

    I've only made this once and I only used the cake mix and the Coke. It was kind of fudgy and really good.

    I made this a while back with just some cake mix and a can of diet coke. :) No eggs. It came out fine for me.

    One box of cake mix + one 12 oz can of soda. No eggs necessary. :)

    I prefer to make cupcakes with this.

    It may not be diet food but its a compromise with my family. They bought boxed cake mix and I am trying to lower the calories in it.

    This cake had good reviews, and it's just a box of cake mix and a can of coke. I've never made this. Cake mixes are really not the healthiest choice. Sorry, I shouldn't be a wet blanket :-) http://www.food.com/recipe/diet-soda-cake-287112

    You guys are killing me. I'm using the supplies I have and I am not eating the entire cake by myself. I'm thankful my mom was nice enough to buy a cake mix. This isnt a cooking household so there is a big lack of supplies to make things from scratch.

    I dont think she was asking what everyones opinion of a healthy food is, she was just asking a question in general.
    Celeste, it is a box of cake mix and a can of coke. And good for you for taking what you have and trying to make it healthier!

    Eating right does not mean NEVER having unhealthy food.It's called MODERATION. Your adjusting it and who cares what some ppl think? Your adjusting your life to meet your needs not thiers. ENJOY!!!!!

    It's perfectly fine every once in a while!! It's a great cake - the only reason they suggest to add eggs is cause it's less likely to add eggs. Don't worry about it - I've made it in cupcakes with diet 7up and white cake and they were sooooooooooooo moist and yummy!! I've also made it with that but after cake cooled I added sugar free cherry jello and light whip cream for frosting! IT WAS AWESOME!! Everyone needs something sweet every now and then - You'll be fine, and so will your kids! :)

    Celeste, make the cake. It's your deal, your way, your life. It isn't anyone else's business. Have a piece and enjoy it. I liked it when I made it.
