Food Talk And Fabulous Finds - Diet Coke Cake??

Anyone heard of this phenomenon? I heard that it is made with cake mix and diet coke...no eggs or oil....can this be true??

Here is what I found online about it Just take a cake mix you get at the store and a can of diet coke and put it in the oven (chocolate cake works best). that's it. I thought it would taste a little funny...but actually it was very moist and you really can't tell the difference
Now I have a chocolate cake mix I just got today, so I will have to try it, so nutritionally it would have 170 calories per 1 serving of cake (1 serving is 1/12 of a cake) This would also depend on what brand of cake mix you use, ect. Considering when made the box says 270 cals, that is a BIG difference, I will try it with this cake and let you know...it may be a few days, we are all birthday cake'd out right now.

I also found this:CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH DIET COLA
1 box of chocolate cake mix
1 can of diet coke
2 egg whites
coolwhip (if desired)

DIRECTIONS:
Mix together dry cake mix, 10-12 oz's of diet soda, 2 egg whites (DO NOT USE THE EGG OR OIL LISTED ON THE BOX)

Spray a 9 X 12 cake pan (or cupcake tin) with non-stick spray and bake according to package instructions.

top with coolwhip is desired

WHITE CAKE WITH DIET SPRITE
1 box of white cake mix
1 can of diet diet sprite

DIRECTIONS (see the chocolate cake directions)

*SPECIAL NOTE: some have said an entire can of soda makes the cake too moist ..... 10 oz seems to work out just fine. Experiment yourself to find the best amount for your taste.

Cool! Thanks for the info!

I've done it before. The consistency was poor. The cake didn't hold up very well and crumbled when trying to cut. Despite this, it tasted good.

I have read that aspertame should not be cooked because heat causes it to be broken down in an unfavorable way. If Diet Coke contains Nutrasweet or any aspertame, I'd say it's not a good idea. You could use a plain carbonated water :)

Personally, I never use eggs, oil or Diet Coke to make cakes. If you'd like a recipe for a delicious cake, PM me and I'll share ;)

They make Diet Coke now with Splenda. I'll bet that would work, since Splenda can be used for baking :)

I've made it before and love it! Just this past weekend my sister made a lemon cake with diet sprite and it was great. She put coolwhip on as icing.. definitely recommend!

I have also made it before, but I did not omit the eggs. I left out the oil & substituted diet coke for the water. My family loves it.
