Am I the only one who has never heard of this? Apparently you can make a cake with only a box of cake mix and a can of soda! People who are on Weight Watchers diets love this because you can mix cake mix (you can even use a reduced sugar mix) with a can of diet soda, and cut out all the calories from the eggs, oil, etc. If you make it in a muffin pan, each cupcake is only 1 point. How cool is that? As I am a horrible dieter, this is not what is intriguing to me, however. I'm thinking of all the great flavor possibilities. Just think of the wide array of soda flavors these days....lime, strawberry, ginger ale, blackberry, etc. A box of cheap cake mix and a cheap can of soda and you get a fantastically cheap and innovative dessert! I love this! There are plenty of low-cal recipes for frosting out there....using fat free cool whip or various other great ideas. I'm thinking an icing made of powdered sugar, a little milk and a splash of vanilla would be delicious on a ginger ale cake. Mmmmm. Many thanks to my facebook pal Daina for enlightening me! :)
