Soda Cupcakes!!!

BEST. POST. EVER!

you can use Betty Crocker Angle Food Cake mix and add a can of crushed pinapple and put in cup cake paper, bake as directed for cupcakes. On WW one cup cake is 2 points.

I've done the Diet Coke with brownie mix. Just mix one can of with the brownie mix (no oil, eggs, water) and bake. It does have a different taste and consistency than "regular" brownies. They are more spongey like, kinda like cake. I think they taste great, but my DH says that they taste different (as he eats half the pan, LOL). It comes out to around 90 calories per brownie, depending on your brownie mix and how small you cut your brownies (I do 24 per pan).

I tried some last night, used Coke Zero (since I had it on hand) and Chocolate Duncan Hane (spelling) mix, turned out better than I hoped! You can taste the difference but they are still good. They are a bit crumbly though, once you take them out of the wrapper so be careful.

The icing, I tried cool whip, but it didn't taste right to me, so I tried them plain, they taste fine, like little muffins. I made them in little cupcake pans and I ended up with 59!!! Which averaged to about 26ish calories a pop, now talk about a nice quick low calorie chocolate fix!

I am going to try strawberry and vanilla later once these are all gone.. and they are going faster than any cupcakes I've made before! (we are all on a diet here.. and other cupcakes come out to 80+ for the same amount).

Does this also work for cakes? Can you use a pan instead of a cupcake pan? Kind of curious for that... since they are kinda crumbly. I may try sometime

I've never heard of this before! I definitely want to try it. Any ideas for a low fat/cal icing? Or do you just eat the cake?

You can use fat-free whipped cream/ cool whip instead of icing Yummy processed cheat treat! Of course you could always just make your own whipped cream from heavy whipping cream, but if we're making cake with a can of soda then clean eating isn't the priority-lol!

If you use the whip cream you can also stir in a pack of fat free pudding powder to add flavor! its so yummy

Can I throw out one other suggestion? I make the Tastefully Simple Chocolate Pound cake with 1 cup water and 3/4 cup of yogurt. OR with two mashed bananas. I have not tried this with store-bought cake mix yet.

I love that it can be low-fat and you can change up the yogurt flavors.

However, my biggest concern is the sugar content. I know the TS cake has 21 grams of sugar in a serving.

Anyone know what Betty Crocker/ Duncan Hines or others contain?

I just want to point out you might want to be careful using banana's. I tried using a banana with chocolate cake mix... and although I LOVE banana's it tasted HORRIBLE with Chocolate Mix in my opinion.. might just be me... but I hated it and so did my husband... just wanted to put that out there.. the banana tasted strong in mine... so if you don't want a strong banana taste be careful.

And to answer your question sorry not sure I threw away the box already.

Is it possible to just use sparkling water, does anyone know?

This sounds yummy!! I'm gonna give this a try
