Default Help with figuring points/portion size

I have a great dessert recipe, but I am having trouble calculating the points. My recipe is 1 cake mix, whatever flavor you wish, and add 1 12oz can of diet soda. My favorite is yellow cake mix with diet slice, taste just like a dream sicle. I use a 9x13 pan. Can someone help?

I found this on an old recipe thread about the pop cake:

" If you cut a 9 x 13 cake into 24 pieces it equals 2 points a piece. If you make cupcakes you don't have to cut the cake as a cake mix makes 24 cupcakes. If the box says a cake will serve 12 then half all of the calorie, fat and fiber values before it is prepared. You aren't adding anything with the soda.

Hope this helps!
