Diet soda and cake mix

Question

Has anyone ever heard of putting diet soda in a cake mix instead of using water, oil and eggs? A co-worker told me that's what she uses. If anyone has tried it let me know how it tasted. I would like your opinion before I try it. Thanks

Answer 2

I have not heard of diet soda.  I have done a can of pumpkin instead of the called for eggs, oil, and water. Adding pumpkin cuts calories and it tasted pretty good
