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!!!

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.

A dutch oven is for cookoing outdoors. Its big metal pots that you cover in coals. Its great for cobblers, breads, chicken, Mixed veggies, whatever!

The Dutch oven, as we know it today, was developed in the early eighteenth century in England and Holland. It is characterized by three legs designed to straddle live coals, a flat-bottomed bowl with flared sides, a rimmed lid to cradle coals on top, and a bail for lifting. This basic design has remained unchanged for centuries, due, no doubt, to the delectable, tender food it produces. There is no need to alter the perfect pot.

The name, however, has had many variations. The functional titles "bake oven," "bake kettle," and "camp oven" all describe how or when the pot is used; baking and camping. The origin of the more common term "Dutch oven" is more elusive. Some writers have argued that the name originated with German and /or Dutch peddlers who sold the cast iron pots from their wagons. Others have credited the Pilgrims with introducing both the pot and the name to this country as a tribute to their former hosts in Holland. A more likely scenario attributes the origin of the name to cast iron cookware made in Holland and imported in to England in the early eighteenth century, or to a Dutch casting technique patented in England in 1708.

Actually, these cast iron kettles might have been more appropriately titled "American ovens," for it was in the great wilderness of the new nation where the pots found their widest use.

Rats. I was hoping they were used alot over there. If anyone wants to be into cooking with them, I'd be glad to help. ITs really really easy.
