    I've found that the texture of the cool whip and pudding mix topping gets better after a day or two of the cupcakes being in the fridge. When it's first mixed, the pudding "powder" doesn't seem to mix in all the way, and can leave a kind of grainy/sandy texture, but it does go away once they're refrigerated :smile:

    How long do you cook them for? The batter seems like it would be very thin and watery.

    Actually, it's not. Mix 12 ounces of soda with the cake mix. I find it works best if you then let it sit for about 15 minutes before sticking it in the oven. It's not watery at all. Cook it for the amount of time that it says on the box- just like normal cake/cupcakes. Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

    So, can you make this in cake form too? Or does it only work in cupcakes?

    Hi I am a big choc-aholic... If this works I will be sooooo happy. Is there other brands of soda I could use if I can't find this and also I am assuming you use instant pudding? Thanks can't wait to try.

    I'm going to have to give this a try! Sounds wonderful. I'll probably have to wait for a special occasion or I'd end up eating them all myself. LOL Hey, Monday is a holiday!

    Yummmmmmmmmmmm. :love:

    I made a batch of soda cupcakes tonight and I can NOT believe how good they are. I just ate one with an 8 oz glass of milk and it was the most amazing 150 calorie dessert I have ever eaten.

    I used
    1 box of devil's food cake mix
    12oz diet Cheerwine (cherry flavored soda, I don't think it's nationally available)
    1 tub sugar free whipped topping
    about 3/4 packet sugar free cheesecake flavor pudding mix

    It's like a cherry chocolate cheesecake. :heart: And only 110 calories for a big cupcake. I made 12 regular sized cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes (55 calories each!).

    Mine stuck to the papers a little (I undercooked them because I was afraid they'd be too dry), so next time I may just make it in a square pan & cut it into 24 squares.

    I have them on a cookie sheet in the freezer right now, individually freezing. Then I'm just going to vacuum seal them in a zip top bag & try to forget about them the rest of the weekend. :laugh: I don't want to make it a daily snack, but it sure is a delicious way to satisfy a craving without ruining your day! Even with such an indulgent treat I'm under 1300 calories for the whole day today. :happy:

    Be careful, and tell yourself they are gross frozen! :wink: My daughter had the bright idea to eat them straight from the freezer... oh, and they tasted like an icecream cake frozen... and I couldn't stop at one. I think I'll have to make them again when I';ll be able to give most of them away, like pot luck at work or a meeting, etc..

    Thank you so much I made a cake for the family tonight and they loved it. I couldn't find the chocolate soda, but I just used a diet coke and it tasted good. The best part was I didn't feel guilty about having a piece of cake. :happy:
