Our friends at Hungry-Girl.com discovered a fabulous secret for low-cal, full-flavor cakes and we just can't get enough of it! Start with a cake mix, add a can of diet soda, and bake according to package directions. Voila - less calories (no eggs or oil racking up the tally) and totally great taste!
Check out two of our fabulous recipes that use this trick:
 Red Velvet Cake |
 Carrot Cake |
But it doesn't stop there! Last weekend I used Diet Cherry 7-Up in these Cherry Chip Cupcakes and they were fabulous. I could imagine a ton of other good flavor combos, like:
- Yellow Cake - Diet A&W Cream Soda
- White Cake - Diet Fresca
- Dark Chocolate Cake - Diet A&W Root Beer
- Rainbow Chip - Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
- Strawberry - Diet Pepsi Jazz Strawberries and Cream
- Lemon - Diet 7-Up
- Spice - Diet Ginger Ale
What sounds good to you?

This is very interesting. I have heard of substituting apple sauce and canned pumpkin but never soda. It would be interesting to know the physics behind this.
