Ingredients
Scale
1 (18-ounce) box of chocolate cake mix (I go for fudge with pudding in the mix)
1 (12-ounce) can of Diet Coke
1 (8-ounce) tub of Cool Whip Free or Cool Whip Lite
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on your cake mix box.
- Grease a 9x13 pan lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry cake mix with the Diet Coke. Use a hand mixer and beat it as directed on the box (usually about 2 minutes at medium speed).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes less than the time on the box. So if it says 28 minutes, bake for about 23.
- Check doneness with a fork or toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
- Let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, frost the top with Cool Whip.
- Slice and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge (though honestly, you probably won’t have any).
Notes
- This works with any soda—Diet Dr. Pepper gives it a cherry-chocolate vibe, and orange soda with vanilla
- cake tastes like a creamsicle dream.
- Wanna keep it sugar-free? Use sugar-free cake mix and Cool Whip Free.
- Try it as cupcakes! Just reduce the baking time and keep a close eye.
- Don’t skip the cooling step or your Cool Whip will melt right off. (Been there!)
