Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 12 oz Diet soda (flavor complementary to cake mix)
- 1 small can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix and the 12 ounces of diet soda. Do not add any other ingredients listed on the cake mix box (e.g., eggs, oil, or water).
Whisk or stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and completely combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before serving.
Slice into 12 equal portions for a cake that's approximately 4 Weight Watchers points per serving (may vary slightly based on the cake mix brand).
Optional: Top with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of fat-free whipped topping for extra flavor.
