Desserts

DIET COKE CAKE- I hear that this is an old WW standby, but I love it. I make it for parties and no one ever knows! I take a piece and then frost the rest for whoever wants frosting. I have only done chocolate with diet Coke or Pepsi
10 oz. diet soda (cola only works w/ chocolate cake mixes- it will change the color)
1 box cake mix
2 egg whites
Cooking spray
Mix diet soda, cake mix and egg whites. Follow cooking directions on cake box. So easy!
DIET COKE CAKE VARIATIONS- I found out that I can't have chocolate anymore, so I started playing around with yellow cake mix and diet 7-Up. It worked great. I made cupcakes. Here are some yummy cupcake ideas:
  • Twinkie Cupcake- cut a yellow cupcake in half and sandwich a dollop of light Cool Whip- 2-points
  • S'more Cupcake- put a tablespoon of marshmallow creme on top, put the cupcake under the broiler for 1 minute or until browned a little- 2-points
  • Jam Cupcake- cut a cupcake in half and sandwich a little bit of jam- 2 1/2 or 3 points, depending on how much jam you use.
The S'more cupcake and Jam cupcake ideas are from Real Simple magazine. They have such great ideas!

I read your comments on Self Diet.com and I was interested in your Chocolate Cake recipe. I tried it and it was good...only thing was that it falls apart easily...but I can live with that. I figured out the calorie count and thought you might be interested

I like the ideas for the yellow cake mix too...I'll have to experiment with this.
Thanks for all your good ideas!

That's funny. Mine didn't fall apart at all! Did you use egg whites? I put two egg whites with 10oz. of diet soda.
I actually thought if looked better than a regular cake made with oil and whole eggs!

Actually I used a 16 oz. Coke...maybe that was the problem.
I'll try less Coke next time.
