I didn't know until very recently that you can make a cake with a box of cake mix and a can of diet soda. Today was a brutal work day. One of those "drive home with a lump in your throat and the radio off" kind of days, so naturally I decided to come home and bake a cake. My favorite is old school yellow cake with chocolate icing. Literally, all I used is...
A box of cake mix, 12 oz canned Diet DP, and canned icing. Judge away...it was one of those days!
You just combine the soda and mix and bake according to the box instructions (30 mins).
Looks normal, right?
So...it was extremely moist. I kind of like my cake a little crusty, so if I do it again I'll definitely forego the "Super Moist" cake mix. However, if you like super spongy cake, try it!
It was quite the crowd pleaser with the kiddos, as evidenced by the chocolate fingerprints all over the cabinets.
And now to make up for my yellow cake excursion, I'm torturing myself with the Marisa Miller issue of Shape. Love her.
Happy Tuesday!

ReplyDeletemarisa is friggin beautiful. (so are you, ps)
evvveryone has those days and you should not apologize for baking being your outlet...especially with little ones around who can help you eat it. :) Me on the other hand, when I bake, I have to bring what's leftover to work or I'll eat it all haha. I have the perfect little chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe calling my name soon (I searched high and low for a potbelly copy-cat recipe)...I'll post about it when I make it. I love cookies a little too much. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same on the way home from a rough day at work! I can't handle the extra noise so there is no radio and I know exactly how that lump feels too.
