Reduced-Fat Cake (From Boxed Mix)
A co-worker introduced me to this super-easy and delicious way to cut calories when making a boxed cake mix. I believe the recipe orginated with Weight Watchers, but I could be mistaken. This makes a wonderfully light and yummy cake, with a lot less fat - or guilt! No eggs, no added oil...

DIRECTIONS
- Empty cake mix into mixing bowl.
- Add entire can of diet cola, and mix well.
- Bake as directed on package. That's it!
- Tastes great plain, or with a light dusting of confectioner's sugar. Also wonderful with a spoonful of Cool-Whip Free.
- Other combinations that I have tried and enjoyed are yellow cake mix/Fresca (regular or Peach flavor) or 7-up, chocolate cake mix/Dr. Pepper, and white cake mix/7-up.
- Estimated Calorie Content: Going by my package of cake mix (2100 calories per TOTAL BOX OF MIX), divide that by 24 cupcakes (the normal amount a standard mix will make), and each cupcake comes out to just under 90 calories each! Just remember, this is without frosting or Cool Whip, etc.
