Reduced Fat Cake From Boxed Mix Recipes

DIET SODA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly and transfer to a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray; bake in the oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (Refer to cake-mix box for pan size and approximate bake time.)

REDUCED-FAT CAKE (FROM BOXED MIX)

Steps:

• Empty cake mix into mixing bowl.
• Add entire can of diet cola, and mix well.
• Bake as directed on package. That's it!
• Tastes great plain, or with a light dusting of confectioner's sugar. Also wonderful with a spoonful of Cool-Whip Free.
• Other combinations that I have tried and enjoyed are yellow cake mix/Fresca (regular or Peach flavor) or 7-up, chocolate cake mix/Dr. Pepper, and white cake mix/7-up.
• Estimated Calorie Content: Going by my package of cake mix (2100 calories per TOTAL BOX OF MIX), divide that by 24 cupcakes (the normal amount a standard mix will make), and each cupcake comes out to just under 90 calories each! Just remember, this is without frosting or Cool Whip, etc.
