This will be my last post for a week. John and I are going on vacation- but I promise to return with yummy recipes soon!
If you have ever done Weight Watchers you know about Diet Coke Cupcakes. I have been hearing about these mysterious things for years now but never made them because honestly, it sounds gross! Soda+Cake Mix= Not good. However, I was very wrong! I decided to make them for my end of the year class party because one of my students can't have egg and therefore has NEVER had a cupcake before in his life. I couldn't handle that fact and needed this poor 7 year old to try a cupcake immediately. They were really good. The kids had no idea they were different. Neither did John- so I guess they are pretty close to the real deal!
Ingredients:
1 box of cake mix
1 can of diet soda
Directions:
1- Combine the two ingredients.
2- Stir until thoroughly combined.
3- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way.
4- Bake approximately 15-20 minutes.
** 2 points per cupcake without icing
I use to make these alot but haven't lately. I think it's time to make them again!
ReplyDeleteI've got to try the magic of diet coke in cake mix cupcakes! These look great!
ReplyDeleteHi! Stephanie, how does the cupcake taste? I didn't know soda drink can make cake.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I nominated your blog for an award, stop by mine when you get a minute!
ReplyDelete"Two points per cupcake without icing." Yes, but what about with icing? And what if the icing is the only part you'll eat (like my kids)? Oh, the variables! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
Best,

Another great "magic" recipe is to mix one can of pumpkin puree with a boxed cake mix. Any flavor works, but my favs are spice cake or dark chocolate. These are incredibly moist, and have a little more nutritional value than the soda ones. (I like the soda ones too--try diet cherry Dr. Pepper with a spice cake mix!)
ReplyDeleteI have to say Ive never heard of such a thing! WOW!
ReplyDeleteDo u have to add the cake mix ingredients? may try this later :D :D x
ReplyDeleteNo- just the mix and soda!
Deletedoes it only work with chocolate flavored cake mixes?...
ReplyDeleteNope- any flavor! However with a vanilla/white/strawberry cake I'd use diet sprite!
