DIET SODA CAKE

I found this recipe and gave it a shot - and was amazed! The recipe didn't specify any specific size of cake cake mix, but I just used the basic size you find at the grocery store. So far, I've made lemon cake mix w/ Diet Sprite & Chocolate cake mix w/ Diet Coke. This is truly amazing- no eggs, oil, etc.

DIET COKE CAKE



Diet Coke Cake image

A friend in college gave me this recipe, if you can even call it that! Since then, I've shared it with pretty much everyone I know: friends, coworkers, family, EVERYONE! Finally, a relatively healthy alternative to chocolate cake! This cake comes out so moist and delicious! For those of you who are worried, it doesn't taste like Diet Coke - I promise!

Time 25m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (18 ounce) chocolate cake mix (I prefer a "fudge" cake mix with pudding in the mix, but this recipe will work with whatever you hav)
1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Free or 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Lite

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to temperature on cake mix box.
  • Grease a 9x13 pan.
  • Combine cake mix and Diet Coke in large mixing bowl. Mix according to directions on box. (For example, my favorite brand says to mix at medium speed for 2 minutes!).
  • Pour into 9x13 pan. Bake 5 minutes less than the recommended time on the box. For example, if the box says to bake a 9x13 cake for 28 minutes, bake your Diet Coke Cake for 23. Cake is done when a fork or toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack.
  • When cooled, frost with Cool Whip topping.
  • Refrigerate leftovers. (I never have any!).
  • Enjoy!

AMAZING DIET CAKE



Amazing Diet Cake image

I saw this recipe and tweaked it just a little more. This is the kind of cake that diabetics can eat without guilt, as long as you can keep the rest of the family away from it. It's not like any "diet" cake I've ever tasted!

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box duncan hines supreme cake mix, any flavor
1 can(s) 12 oz, diet or zero sprite, or diet ginger ale
2-3 drops extract, flavor depends on cake mix
pam non-stick spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, dump dry cake mix into bowl and add 1 12 oz can of diet or Zero Sprite, or diet Ginger Ale. Add 2-3 drops of extract to compliment the flavor of the cake mix.
  • 3. Spray a 2 qt square or round baking dish with Pam or other non-stick spray. (I've found that using a bundt pan is sketchy - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.) This cake is VERY delicate and light and will split or separate easily so I've found that baking it in a square baking dish and leaving it in the pan works best.
  • 4. Mix cake batter until nearly smooth, then pour into prepared pan.
  • 5. In pre-heated oven place pan on rack in the center of the oven and bake for 40 minutes. If your oven bakes unevenly, VERY GENTLY rotate the pan half-way around being careful not to let batter drop.
  • 6. After 40 minutes, test the cake with a toothpick. If it comes out completely clean then remove it from oven. If there is still a tiny bit of residue on the toothpick, put cake back in oven; TURN THE OVEN TO OFF; and set timer for 10 minutes. Test again with toothpick - it should be done.
  • 7. Remove cake from oven and set on stove top or cooling rack until cake is completely cool.
  • 8. There are two options to this glaze; For Diabetics or people watching their sugar, squeeze 1 fresh lemon until all the juice is rendered. Remove seeds from juice and add Splenda and mix well. This will make more of a thin syrup than a glaze but it's still delicious. If glaze is too thick add more fresh lemon juice or concentrated lemon juice. If glaze seems too thin, add additional Splenda or enhance the flavor with a little Powdered Sugar, depending on the health issues of those who will eat the cake. For a regular glaze, use about 1/2 box of powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a milky glaze. You want it thin enough to drizzle over the cake. As it dries it will harden. Drizzle the syrup over the cake letting it soak in. Repeat so that the cake is pretty well saturated with the syrup. This is my favorite way to "ice" this cake, and I use all of the syrup. Let it sit for several hours or cover and serve the next day. If using the powdered sugar glaze drizzle just enough to cover the top of the cake. This type of glaze won't soak into the cake like the syrup does.
  • 9. Refrigerate leftovers. *NOTES: Try this with a Duncan Hines Supreme Orange Cake Mix and decorate with sugar free Cool Whip and no sugar added mandarin oranges. Pat the orange segments dry before adding to the top of the cake. Use a strawberry cake mix with a can of diet cherry sprite and decorate with fresh strawberries.

WW 4 PT. DIET SODA CAKE



Ww 4 Pt. Diet Soda Cake image

I got this recipe from a WW group a few years ago. I have made it so much that it is often requested (even by men). I like to match the color of the drink with the color of the cake (ie: Sprite with yellow, coke with chocolate, etc.) I really like the diet cherry coke with a devils food cake. Be creative! I think that it is 4 pts. per slice, and the slices are big.

DIET COKE FLOAT CAKE

I always joked with Brenda that there was nothing diet or healthy about this recipes, but it was soooooo good.

DIET CAKE



Diet Cake image

Our biggest problem...is nibbling at the cake till its gone. This way, you only bake a smaller cake! You get the great taste of cake, a reasonable sized piece.....and a cake mix makes 3-4 cakes! A later note: I have added up to a cup of blueberries to this. Just be sure to let it cool a bit, it gets eally hot inside the berries!

DIET CHOCOLATE CAKE

Moist, double-layer chocolate cake with chocolate pudding frosting. Fat-free, sugar-free (almost) Simple to make, easy to eat all you want.

Provided by homemade8

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 ounce chocolate cook-and-serve pudding mix (sugar-free, fat-free)
1 3/4 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees (or temperature recommended on cake mix box). Lightly grease two 8 or 9 inch round non-stick cake pans. Mix together cake mix, cocoa powder, eggs, oil, and water using electric mixer. Note: if mix looks too dry, add more applesauce or if mix looks too wet, hold back some water. Bake for recommended baking time on cake box. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Frosting: Over medium heat, combine pudding mix, skim milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to boil for 2 minutes, constantly stirring with spatula. Cool pudding to room temperature.
  • Frost cake by placing first cake round on platter. Cut top of cake flat and remove any excess cake. Apply half of the frosting to the cake. Add second cake round to the spread frosting. Push down slightly so the pudding is visible between the layers. Add remaining frosting to top of cake, keeping it 1/2 inch away from edge of cake all the way around. Chill in refrigerator overnight. Note: the moisture from the frosting pudding mix will soak into the cakes and create a very moist, almost pudding-like consistency.
  • This recipe was designed for Mother's Day for my wife who loves chocolate and can now eat all the chocolate cake she wants! By the way, this tastes amazing.

DIET COKE CAKE



Diet Coke Cake image

Make and share this Diet Coke Cake recipe from Food.com.

Provided by missmortgages

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke
1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix

Steps:

  • Combine the two ingredients and bake as directions say on the back of the cake mix box. Don't add eggs or anything, only the diet coke. TRUST ME! It rocks!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas. Ripeness adds sweetness and moisture to the cake, reducing the need for added sugar and oil.
  • Use whole wheat or oat flour. These alternatives add fiber and nutrients while making the cake denser and more filling.
  • Add sweetness with natural ingredients. Mashed or pureed fruits, like applesauce or dates, provide sweetness without refined sugar.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for butter or oil. Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture, while reducing the fat content.
  • Reduce the sugar content. Many recipes call for more sugar than necessary. Try reducing the amount by 1/4 to 1/2.
  • Add spices and extracts for flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract are popular choices that enhance the taste of the cake.
  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips. Dark chocolate contains less sugar and more antioxidants.
  • Portion the cake into individual servings. This helps with portion control and prevents overeating.

Conclusion:

Diet cakes can be a delicious and satisfying way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health goals. By using healthy ingredients and reducing sugar and fat content, you can create a cake that is both nutritious and enjoyable. Experiment with different recipes, flavors, and ingredients to find the perfect diet cake that meets your needs and preferences. With a little creativity and planning, you can enjoy a healthy and delicious cake without compromising your diet.
