Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 12 ounces Diet soda (any flavor)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the boxed cake mix.
Add 12 ounces (1 can) of diet soda to the cake mix. Choose a soda flavor that complements the cake mix (e.g., use diet cola with chocolate cake or diet lemon-lime soda with vanilla cake).
Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and well combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is, or top with your favorite light frosting or whipped topping. Slice into 12 servings and enjoy!
