Ingredients:
- 12 oz. Can of Diet Cherry Coke
- Box of chocolate cake mix (I used Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Fudge)
- Cool Whip (smaller container)
- Powdered Sugar-1/4 cup
- Almond Extract-1/4 tsp
Directions:
- Add can of Diet Cherry Coke to boxed cake mix and mix for 2 minutes.
- Bake according to directions on box, but start checking it about 5 minutes before time stated because it may cook a bit quicker. Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean when cake is done.
- Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.
- Using a mixer, beat the thawed Cool Whip with the powdered sugar and almond extract until blended and fluffy.
- Frost cake and decorate as desired!
I am not usually a fan of using lower fat substitutions in baked goods in place of oil, eggs, etc. because the texture always seems very sticky and just weird, but I would not have known this cake wasn't made with the usual ingredients.
Apparently you can use any diet soda with any boxed cake mix. Other pairings to consider:
Yellow or white cake mix with diet sprite
White cake mix with diet orange soda
White cake mix with diet root beer
Chocolate cake with Diet Dr. Pepper
