Ingredients
Scale
1 (18 ounce) chocolate cake mix (I prefer a “fudge” cake mix with pudding in the mix, but this recipe will work with whatever you have)
1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Free or (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Lite
Instructions
- Preheat oven to temperature on cake mix box.
- Grease a 9×13 pan.
- Combine cake mix and Diet Coke in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix according to directions on box (For example, my favorite brand says to mix at medium speed for 2 minutes!).
- Pour into 9×13 pan.
- Bake 5 minutes less than the recommended time on the box. (For example, if the box says to bake a 9×13 cake for 28 minutes, bake your Diet Coke Cake for 23.)
- Cake is done when a fork or toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on wire rack.
- When cooled, frost with Cool Whip topping.
- Refrigerate leftovers. (I never have any!)
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors of cake mix! Red velvet would be amazing.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
