Introduction
I believe we're all familiar with the recipe to bake a cake by mixing a standard cake mix with a 12 ounce diet soda. The calories are much reduced because the eggs and oil are eliminated. Your cake still bakes up moist and fluffy.I recently saw my brother eat one of these microwave mini cakes that they have in the cake mix aisle. That, combined with a recent post basically describing how to make such a (full calorie) microwave mini cake from scratch got me thinking--would the diet soda recipe work on a small scale in the microwave?
It does. I believe we're all familiar with the recipe to bake a cake by mixing a standard cake mix with a 12 ounce diet soda. The calories are much reduced because the eggs and oil are eliminated. Your cake still bakes up moist and fluffy.

Ingredients
-
1/12 cake mix (for me, that was 43g.*)
1/12 can diet soda (equal to 1oz. or 1/8c. or 28g)
Directions
Stir together in a small microwave safe container. Microwave 60 seconds.
Makes 1 mini cake
Probably it's better if you let it sit a minute or two before eating...I did not wait. *The mix was about three heaping spoonfuls, or if you don't have a scale, try dividing it into 12 ziplocks.
In future, I will probably not use "reduced sugar" cake mix. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
