Sounds great! I like to use a yellow cake mix with the sprite zero and pour it over pineapple slices in a baking dish. Sprinkle with very little brown sugar and it is a good substitute for pineapple upside down cake.

Thanks for the 411.....I will make these for my birthday this coming Saturday!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

UMMMMMM,,,,,slight problem..knew these may be too good to be true.....Ok when u scan the bar code using your smart Phone and the My fitness app....well the calories are for 1/9th of the package as previously described and that would be 19 calories a piece.....of course when youbake the cake your using the WHOLE PACKAGE....a whole package of Betty Crocker Moist Yellow cake is 1600 calories.....divide that by 12 and you definitely do not get 19.....you get 137. Damn....and i just went out and bought 4 boxes...oh well...guess i gotta walk some more..

If the box is 1600 calories and you are making 24 regular size cupcakes it would be 67 calories per cupcake if you make 48 mini cupcakes from the box it would be about 34 calories per. Still pretty good.

Ok, this may be a stupid question but how much does the final product taste like the soda you used?

I used spice cake and diet Sprite didn't taste the soda.

I'm really curious about this - I'm having a party on Friday night and think I'll give them a go for the girls! Canny beat a cheat cake!

Exatly, 2 WW pts, the OP is quite off about cals. A box of cake mix is about 140 cals per 1/12 so a regular batch makes about 20, lets say 24 small ones to be easy mathematically and then x2 for mini's, that’s 35 cals each, double what the op said plus, 1 mini cupcake sounds like a hard # to stop on. I've never experienced cravings so I'd say ditch the whole thing. It’s either a splurge day due to hard-core working out or its nothing but hey, soda cake is always an option it’s just "no big deal" (say that like Hanover guy, ha ha!)

I made an Orange Dreamsicle cake:

Yellow Cake mix
diet orange soda
2 egg whites (you can leave them out, it just helps it rise when making cake)
sugar free orange jello (2 small boxes)
Cool Whip free

Mix cake mix with diet orange soda and egg whites (or not) - bake according to directions on box. I made mine in an 11x13 pan. Let cool and poke holes in cake. Mix one pkg of jello and pour over cake.
Mix Cool whip and other box of jello (just the powder) and frost cake once it has cooled. Keep in fridge.

Very refreshing - even my husband and picky kids liked it.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!

Someone may have already said it - but if you add 2 egg whites it makes them not as dense and more like normal fluffy cake.

never use packet cake mix - too many unknowns. Palm oil probably used!! If you make them in mini cases of course the calories will be minimal.
