I make this at least weekly with dark choc. cake mix and diet Dr. Pepper! I make 2 point cupcakes instead of the 4 pt cake slices. Lately, I tried adding a "filling" to my cupcakes using 1 8 oz ff cream cheese bar, softened, and two egg whites, with 1/3 c. sugar and 1/2 t. vanilla. Beat all, and spoon into cupcacke tins after you have 1/3 filled with cake batter. Then, top with more cake batter to get 2/3 full. Bake as directed. DEEELISH!

How wonderfull! Now I can have my cake and eat it too! I'm not on WW, but I am losing weight, so this is just great! I used a chocolate cake mix and diet cola. It turned out great. What I did was made the cake, let it cool, then I put Sugar Free Fat Free Chocolate pudding on top, then I topped that with Fat Free Cool Whip. It tastes just like a cake that my monster I mean mother-in-law makes, but mine is actually okay to eat! LOL. Thank you so much for the great idea!!!

I've been wanting to try this for awhile, and even with the good reviews here and elsewhere, I was still surprised at how good this was. I used a dark chocolate cake mix with diet cola, and one whole egg. I have heard that other versions of this cake sometimes have a soft consistency and strange texture, but this one was a perfectly moist, rises high, and tastes exactly like "normal" cake. I think the egg and the fact that you don't use the entire can of soda (some recipes say to put it all in) are what do it. Thank you so much!

I have been making this cake for some time now. The possibilities are abundant. Lastnight I made Strawberry w/ diet cream soda. I always add about 2 T of unsweetened applesauce for a little "oil", 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 egg white. A good frosting is 1 tub of ff Cool whip mixed with 1 pack SF FF instant pudding mix of your choice. This is definately a recipe that you can use you imagination with.

This was really good. I used a chocolate cake mix, and a can of Diet Caffeine Free Dr. Pepper. I skipped the egg all together, and it turned out fine. I topped with FF coolwhip. Thanks for a great recipe, I plan to make this next time with a yellow box mix and diet lime soda.

My son made this yesterday with diet root beer and yellow cake mix. This tasted good and was moist but the cake was flat. He used fat free butterscotch pudding for icing.

I went to a Tupperware party and this was the cake that they made in one of the Heat n Serve containers. I didn't know you could make it in the oven too! I didn't use the egg whites either. Microwave directions are to spray container with non stick spray, mix cake and pour in container. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Put lid on container and microwave for 8 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate. Great for a hot summer day when you are craving cake! Wish I had found this recipe first though. I wouldn't have bught another piece of Tupperware! Thanks for posting.

Thank-you for this recipe. I used yellow mix and fresca. Then I let it cook and poked it with a fork and poured SF cherry jello over it and made a poke cake. Great. Little one helped to mix the cake and she loved it.

Wow! I was so unsure about using soda, but trust the reviewers : it's delish and nobody can suspect the secret ingredient. My family ask me to do normal cupcakes, not a low-fat version, but at the last minute, I felt bad using so much oil, so this is the recipe I choose. No one in my family thought it was a low-fat version :p! I used 2 egg whites (but next time I'll use 1 because it was too fluffy), a Duncan Hines Swiss chocolate cake and Zero Coca-Cola. It rised a lot, so fill the muffins tins 1/2 full is enough. Baked it for 18 min approx. Next time I'm going to try making my own cake mix, with some splenda, and see how it goes. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! Edit: I just made it with a white cake mix and Zero Spritz, there was no lemon-lime after taste
