Heat oven to 350*. Toss frozen berries with Splenda and flour. Put berries in bottom of 9X13 Pam sprayed cake pan. Mix cake mix with soda. Pour over berries. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 20-30 minutes until cake is browned and berries bubbling.
Serves 12
WW points: 4
Note: I used a lemon flavored cake mix and baked it uncovered at 325* (because the berries were frozen, and I wanted to make sure they cooked) ...I kept checking for 'browness', and it took about 40-45 minutes to be bubbling and browned ...It was yummy!
