I kept seeing these cake recipes all over Pinterest and I have been overcome by chocolate chip cravings lately so I had to give it a try.
I mixed:
1 sugar free vanilla cake mix
with 12 oz of diet 7-Up
Then folded in:
a scant 3/4 cups of mini chocolate chips.
And baked it in a bundt pan sprayed with cooking spray at 350 for 41 minutes.
Oh
my
gosh...
I was afraid the lemon lime soda would make it taste funny but the consensus at my house was: moist, light, chocolaty goodness.
For about 1/3 of the calories and 1/2 the fat, you could leave out the chocolate chips. (I mean I wouldn't, but you could.) I'm thinking next time I'll try a sugar free chocolate cake mix with a diet cream soda...and probably cupcakes for better portion control.
If you are craving a sweet treat but don't want to break your calorie budget, this is a winner. Or if you need to bring a dessert to a function where you know you're not the only one watching your weight, this is it.
Yes, definitely a success.
