Hi everyone, I just heard about this and it is delicious!!! Take a cake mix (any flavor) and a can of soda in a matching flavor. Mix the cake mix and 12 oz can (or a cup and a half) of soda in a bowl. Bake as directed on the box. The cake comes out with a brownie-like texture. I have made three so far:

Fudge cake mix with diet coke
Orange Cream with diet sunkist
and
Strawberry Supreme with Cheerwine

All have been delicious!!! 1/12 of the cake made with diet soda and cool whip light is only 2 weight watcher points. (According to who I heard it from)

They don't rise as much as a regular cake does, so I have thought about using 2 mixes and doubling the soda, but haven't tried it yet.

Let me know what you think!!!

Interesting recipie, I'll have to give it a go. Pardon me if I am nieve, but what is cheerwine?

cheerwine is a lot like cherry coke. It's only found in the southeastern US from what I understand.

They started selling it in the midwest just recently.Just started seeing it in stores here.
Sounds like a good recipe. Thanks for sharing.

What is a Dutch oven? The ovens here don't look any different in the US then they do here...aside from the different electricity socket plug. :)

Unless a dutch oven is like Dutch chips in the US. Nothing Dutch about them.
