    I just checked some cake mixes I had in the cupboard. They all say 170 cal per serving (just the mix alone) with 12 servings per box. The nutritional info of 428 cal per 1 serving is incorrect. If you were to eat the entire cake assuming it was 1 serving, you have 2040 cal. Don't be fooled. ;) - 3/28/07

    I just made this with white cake and Peach flavored sparkling water (no calories, no sugar, etc.). I added a little fresh fruit as well (one slice of peach per cupcake) and it was completely delicious. - 6/20/11

    The reason the cals are so LOW is because you dont add the eggs and the oil. When you look on the box, the # of cals that it will tell you are in each serving is IF you used the eggs and oil. So yes, this calorie count is correct. - 3/20/09

    I love diet soda cakes! I often make the mix into cupcakes for individual servings. So good! :) - 5/7/09

    This is great! I just use a regular 18.25 oz chocolate cake mix plus a 12 oz can of Diet Dr Pepper...very tasty and so easy! - 5/3/09

    These cakes are awesome and easy. You can make them in the microwave Cook 8 mins in your tupperware container..it may look doughy in the middle but it finishes cooking once taken out, don't overcook. The serving size should be 12 which makes the calories @105 without toppings...try it warm. - 1/5/08

    Not a fan - tried it with Diet Pepsi and Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Devil's Food cake mix. Cake was very moist, but I just didn't like the taste. The combination of chocolate and cola just wasn't for me, I guess. - 11/17/07

    Used to have this all the time. It is a hit with weight watchers people. I saw some concern over the calories, but be assured it is low calorie. If portioned correctly is is under 100 calories a slice. Can't beat taht! It taste great too. Of course you can leave out the cool whip to save some. - 4/22/07

    Really good! My son didn't believe me that it was a cake mix and Diet Pepsi. I tried a Devil's Food cake mix and Diet Pepsi and did frost it. I think I will try a yellow or white cake next with clear soda and skip the frosting...we really enjoyed this cake! - 4/15/07

    I made a lemon cake using lemon and lime soda. It was fantastic. I liked it enough to make it for a church group and it disappeared quickly. They did not know that it was low calorie. - 5/22/12

    How much soda? 12 oz? I made something similar to this with devil's food, diet coke, and sugar free cherry pie filling...like a dump cake...everyone loved it and no one knew it was "healthy". Add a little light or sugar-free cool whip and you really feel like you are cheating. - 10/14/11

    I used a vanilla cake mix with a can of diet orange soda. The cake tasted like a creamsicle! Delicious...my mother-in-law loved it! - 9/27/11

    The box usually shows the calories with and without the extra ingredients. Without eggs and oil is 180 calories per serving. WITH eggs and oil the cake would be 270 calories per serving. Just read your box when you make the cake. - 5/8/09

    Our family has this all the time. We love it. I put it in cupcake papers to monitor portion size. - 1/16/09

    even if you cut the cake into 24 slices , it would be 85 cal.which it not bad. you wouldnt want to eat the whole cake anyway right? It is very good. Anyway that is what i did. 24 slices and half the cal. There is no way
    the cal. count could be 400 and something for the whole cake. - 3/28/07

    This cake was delicious. I made it with Pepsi Jazz Strawberry & a devils food mix. I am the baker in my circles and everybody was surprised to discover how many calories were missing - no fat, no sugar, great taste. Thanks for this one! - 3/14/07

    I used Trader Joe's vanilla cake mix and Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. It was FABULOUS and only 190 calories! I'm going to try chocolate cake mix next time :) - 10/18/12

    Dark Chocolate cake and Diet Rootbeer.... tastes just like rich chocolate brownies!!! Awesome. My husband couldn't believe it was "diet" - 9/29/12

    This was delcious and moist. I used 12 oz of Diet Ginger Ale in a Butter Pecan cake mix. I made 16 cupcakes...and the calories worked out to be 100 calories per cupcake. I iced a couple of them with fat free whip cream...that was yummy...my daughter loves them plain...they're so moist! - 8/18/12
