ingredients
-
cake
- 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix (dark or light colored cake)
- 1 (12 ounce) can diet soda (dark diet soda for dark cakes. light diet soda for light colored cakes.)
-
frosting
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 1 (8 ounce) container fat-free cool whip
- 3 ounces fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix (mix and match with your cake.)
directions
- CAKE: Stir the soda into the cake mix - nothing else; no eggs, no oil just diet soda. Spray a 9x13 baking pan w/baking spray and bake according to cake mix directions. If making cupcakes, place liners in a muffin pan and use a standard ice cream scoop to place one level portion into each cup. Approximately, 1/4 cup.
- FROSTING: Fold the pudding into the cool whip. Add half the milk and keep adding a as much of the remaining milk as you'd like to get the consistency you prefer. Frost COMPLETELY COOL cake. Cut into 2"x2" square servings and serve.

I was excited to try a light frosting for this cake, but you have the “sugar free fat free” pudding amount as THREE ounces... most SF/FF box puddings are ONE oz...and being the trusting soul I am, I used THREE boxes of pudding. Needless to say, my frosting turned out as heavy as LEAD. Perhaps it should read ONE oz. SF/FF pudding OR 3 oz regular?? Please fix this! Thanks!!

Four Stars-Five stars for flavor, three stars because the cupcake stuck to the liner and crumbled apart easily. I have made a sheet cake using diet soda and it turned out fine so I think I'll stick with that and stear away from the cupcake idea. They taste great so I'll be eating mine over a plate to catch all the crumbs. I won't waste I bit!! Yum!

Yummie!!! I've done this twice now - both layer cakes. The first one, I used chocolate fudge cake mix and diet coke. Then for the icing I used chocolate fudge pudding. This taste too good to be so low in fat and calories!! For the second one, I used lemon cake mix, lemon pudding and diet sprite. This time I got a little creative. I made 1/2 the amount of icing for the top and sides. In between the layers, I put the other 1/2 of the box of pudding (mixed with milk) and then a layer of homemade raspberry coulis. I know it increased the points some, but it was incredible! I can't believe I've never heard of something like this before! What a winner!!!
