It's been a few days since I posted anything new. I've tried a few things, but they didn't quite work out. Today's recipe was outstanding, though. This will be a great treat for a holiday dinner dessert with family and friends, especially if served warm on a cold winter day.
I saw this recipe on Pinterest. You can find me on Pinterest here and it was on my "Recipes That Sound Really Good" board. This is as easy as the diet soda cake. It basically is, but with a few minor tweaks. Here's what you need:
24 oz mixed frozen berries. Try to get berries that are "no sugar added".
12 oz clear diet soda
1 white cake mix
Spread the berries in the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan.
Spread the cake mix over the top of the berries. Try to break up the big lumps. Then, pour the diet soda evenly over the cake mix, trying to cover all of the mix.
If there are big dry spots, you might want to gently stir the top around just a smidge to moisten it up a little. I noticed when mine was cooking that there were some larger patches of plain cake mix that was still powdery. When mine was almost done cooking I stirred (gently) the dry spots in with the berries a little better and then let it cook a little longer.
Cook at 350F for about 45 minutes. The berries will be bubbly and the cake should be golden. Here's what mine looked like, served up warm.
I figured the calories and everything for 1/12 of the cake as a serving. The calories are depending on the brand of cake mix...I did not use the number for the brand shown. I used the numbers from a Betty Crocker mix. There are 163.3 calories, 1.25g fat, .8g saturated fat, 258.3mg sodium, 16.7mg potassium, 37.9g carbs, 3.4g fiber, .8g protein. (4 Points Plus)
This definitely passed the family taste test. They all loved it warm. Go ahead and try this one. It's super easy, but if you don't tell your guests they'll think you spent a long time on it. It's ok with me if people think I'm Captain Wonder-chef! lol
Eat Well,
Lisa

| Any clear diet soda will be good, like 7 up, Sprite or Sierra Mist. Also, don't use this brand of cake. It has a ton more calories and carbs than a Betty Crocker or Pillsbury white cake. |
