How to Make Diet Soda Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your cake mix box.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (typically 15.25 oz) of your favorite cake mix with one 12-ounce can of diet soda (choose a flavor that complements your cake mix).
  3. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan (or use a baking spray with flour).
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake according to the time specified on your cake mix box (approximately 17-22 minutes, depending on your oven and the type of cake mix).
  7. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting (optional).
