Okay, what is this kind of cake that includes diet coke in the making?

Question

My friend made this cake, that was a chocolate cake that I think she said was just cake mix and diet soda, and she used cool whip and crystal lite for the frosting.

It tasted REALLY good and had a ridiculously low amount of calories.

What is this cake, and where do I find a recipe?

Answer 1

Huh - never would have thought of this.

I visited the Coke museum in Atlanta a few years ago, so I got out my Coke "official" cookbook.

Nothing like that in there, but I'll be sure to try it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Answer 2

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. I just read on a healthy food forum that you simply buy a box of cake mix such as Betty Crocker, and rather than adding all the other ingredients (eggs, oil, water) you just add a can of diet coke and bake it. The website also says that if you're making a vanilla or lemon cake that you could add diet 7Up instead.

Answer 3

You just wrote the recipe above.

Grap a box of cakemix, and in stead of adding water/milk, add diet soda.  

Answer 4

1 (18 ounce)  chocolate cake mix

1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke

1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Lite

Preheat oven to temperature on cake mix box.

Grease a 9x13 pan.

Combine cake mix and Diet Coke in large mixing bowl. Mix according to directions on box.

Pour into 9x13 pan. Bake 5 minutes less than the recommended time on the box. For example, if the box says to bake a 9x13 cake for 28 minutes, bake your Diet Coke Cake for 23. Cake is done when a fork or toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Cool in pan on wire rack.

When cooled, frost with Cool Whip topping.

Refrigerate leftovers.  

There are also other variations of this cake such as yellow cake with lemon-lime soda.

Hope this helps! =)
