DIET CAKE IDEAS

THREAD:

I made a french vanilla cake mix with a Diet Rite Tangerine soda and used lite cool whip. Wonderful. Everyone liked it.

I’ve made it several times.. it is fantastic.. my favorite is lemon cake with diet 7up.. i’ve heard that pops made with splenda taste better because splenda doesn’t break down when baked.. 🙂 

Oh and I also tried vanilla cake with cream soda — yummy! 

I made a lemon cake with Diet Mt. Dew and it came out beautifully — it made 18 big cupcakes at about 125 calories each! In addition to the can of soda, I also added one whole egg. Egg (esp. the yolk!) is a binding agent, which keeps the cake from being too crumbly and falling apart. I figured at about 75 cals for one egg, the extra 4 calories per cupcake was negligible, and made for a better cake! 

This cake is also very good using Strawberry cake mix and Diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper. You can also put an egg white in it and it will not fall apart as bad. I like to use any of the flavored Diet drinks. 

You use 12 oz of Soda. 

I made a sierra mist free (no cals, no sugar, slight bit of sodium only) strawberry shortcake a few weeks ago with yellow cake mix, my husband’s favorite, he gobbled it up! To this day he doesn’t know it was “diet”. Instead of icing the WHOLE cake, I put a layer of light cool whip in the middle of the layers of cake along with some strawberries and then put the top cake layer on and did the same thing. I didn’t do the sides. After we ate it, I put the leftovers in a bowl with plastic wrap and it was even better the next day after the cool whip kind of got stiff. 

WONDERFUL! Just made it tonight with a Devil’s Food and Diet Coke that I had on hand definitely moist! I would advise cupcakes to get more accurate calorie count. Also will be trying the Sugar free pudding for the filling sounds great! Next will do Cherry coke zero with devils food! 🙂 

I used white cake mix w/ diet red pop. Yum! 

Excellent! I make it lots of ways but the favorite is coconut cake mix, 1 can 7-up, poke holes in the cake, then top with sugar free/fat free cheesecake pudding (follow directions on the box), and 1 tub of free cool whip with 1 teaspoon of coconut extract mixed in. BEST Coconut cake I’ve EVER had!
