I love cake (lots of us do) It's a guilty pleasure that I hate to pass up. This is a great recipe for those of us who love cake, but need to pare back some calories and fat - especially after a long winter!
All you need is:
12 ounces of diet soda
1 box of cake mix (any brand)
mix it up and cook per the instructions on the box!
If you'd like, alot of people choose to use some egg beaters (2 egg equivalent) or 1 or 2 egg whites. This makes the cake stick together better and keeps it more moist.
This is only 4 points on Weight Watchers, for anyone who needs to know.
Without the egg - it can be a great treat for people with egg allergies, just double check the particular brand of mix that you choose to be sure that there is no egg product in it (I haven't seen one that's not egg free)
Here are a few suggested combinations for you to try:
Chocolate cake mix - cream soda, black cherry, raspberry, cola, vanilla cream
Lemon cake mix - cirtus, Mountain Dew, orange, Sprite or 7-up
Orange cake mix - orange, citrus, strawberry
Red-Velvet mix - cherry, strawberry, raspberry
Spice cake mix - rootbeer, cream soda, vanilla cream, gingerale
White cake mix - anything
Strawberry cake mix - strawberry, orange, pepsi, cola
Funfetti cake mix - citrus, gingerale, any type of fruit flavor
Cherry Chip cake mix - cherry, vanilla, raspberry, cola
Try it for yourself, and see how you like it! Please feel free to suggest other combinations too!!
