    I made 2 of these cakes for a work function and have never baked a cake in my life before - it was super easy and non-threatening, quick, and people LOVED it - even sought me out after the party to comment again on how great it was. Thanks so much for posting this! - 2/26/09

    I have made this for a few years. It can be made without a mixer. You have to use a whisk, and it takes a bit longer. Make sure the batter is thick. The texture is different due to the eggs and oil missing. The cake is delicious. - 8/29/09

    I made this with diet cherry vanilla dr. pepper and it gave it a slight cherry flavor and it was delicious without any topping at all. - 1/8/09

    This was so delicious and so easy. I used the dark chocolate cake mix and Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper although I don't think you could taste any cherry flavor at all after baking. It was delicious plain but I topped it with a tsp of Hershey's Lite chocolate syrup and lite cool whip and choc. sprinkles :) - 9/20/09

    This was amazing, this was amazing!! I made it in muffin tins so I would have portion control. A few times I drizzle ONLY a tbl of 50% less sugar chocolate syrup. Upped the calories by 30 - but hey - THIS WAS AMAZING! - 7/23/09

    This is an AWESOME idea and it tasted GREAT! My husband used Diet Dr. Pepper and put warm blackberries with a tsp of chocolate syrup and a tsp of powdered sugar for my birthday. JUST AWESOME!! It was surprisingly moist, a bit flat (with no eggs), but even so it wasn't dense at all. Thanks!! - 5/8/09

    Maybe it didn't turn out right because I don't have a mixer but it was a crumbly mess. My boyfriend took one bite but won't eat anymore beause he found the texture too weird. I thought it tasted OK but I could taste the soda & it's definitely a light cake. - 3/20/09

    I'm sorry it didn't turn out for you! I think you are right about the mixer - using an electric mixer makes the batter a little more light and fluffy.

    I made this with a dark chocolate cake mix and it was very good. My SIL thought it was brownies and ate it plain. Will make again. A small dab of a fruit pie filling is a good sub for fresh fruit for just a few more calories. - 2/2/09

    I'm stunned. If I hadn't been the one to pour in the diet Dr. Pepper, I wouldn't have believed it was in the recipe. Tastes delicious, texture is a little different from normal cake, but not bad! - 8/7/11

    Made this last night but changed a few things. I used a yellow cake mix added about 3 tblspns of cocoa powder and used only a few strawberries but added a banana (both sliced) as the fruit on top of the lite whipped cream. The changes did change the nutritional info slightly. Not much though. Yummy - 4/25/10

    I made this yesterday for my hubbie's birthday and it turned out great! I used Diet Coke with Lime (all we had), but I couldn't taste the time. I put a little powdered sugar on it along with fresh raspberries and Cool Whip. It looked really fancy & was super easy! - 7/15/09
