Mmmmmm....CAKE!!!

This is another recipe I had heard about for quite some time, but never tried it. Boy, am I glad I did! It's delicious...and you don't have to feel guilty for eating cake!!!! There are so many variations---any type of cake mix can be used and any Diet soda can be used! BE CREATIVE!!!

1 box of any cake mix
1 can (actually, I only used about 10 oz of the 12 oz can) of any diet soda
2 egg whites

1. Preheat oven according to the directions on your selected box of cake mix.
2. Spray your pan with Pam or another cooking spray.
3. Mix above ingredients together thoroughly and then pour evenly into your baking pan.
4. Bake according to the directions on the cake mix box. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (FYI: Ours took slightly longer than the times on the box--it's a super moist cake..just be aware..I think ours took maybe 5-7 minutes more than listed on the box).
5. After taking it out, be sure to let it cool completely before cutting.

Some tips from our experience:

**The original recipe calls for just cake mix and a can of diet soda, however, we have found that the cake doesn't stay together as well---don't get me wrong, it's FABULOUS, but it wasn't holding it's shape as well without the egg whites (and the egg whites really don't add many calories per piece of cake...in WW, they add less than a point for the whole cake).

**We used a triple chocolate fudge cake and just regular diet coke. It was delicious! However, there are so many options to try---vanilla cake with diet lemon-lime soda is our next venture :-)

**After taking it out of the oven, let it cool COMPLETELY before trying to cut it. It's extremely moist and tears easily, so it's important to let it cool and completely set up before cutting.

**We baked ours in a 9 x 13 pan, and cut it into about 15 pieces, I believe. It's about 3 points a serving this way, but it all depends on your cake mix and how many servings you make. A lot of girls also make them into cupcakes....would also be delicious....if you make 24, they are 2 points a piece. YUM-O!!!
