So, we’re heading toward the middle of February. I have been seriously off my game in the blogging segment of my life. See, I (like about a million other Americans) decided for my New Year’s Resolution that I was going to be healthier. Well, you know what? That seriously puts a quietus on the making/baking of my Sinful Southern Sweets. And you know what else, I don’t like that!! So, I decided to post a recipe that some of you still holding tight to your weight loss efforts might appreciate.
I was talking to one of my sister in laws the other day and telling her about this cake. Its beyond easy. If you have ever been around anyone on Weight Watchers you have probably heard of this cake. I have joined Weight Watchers so many times, Mr. Sweets usually just asks once a year if we’ve made our yearly donation to Weight Watchers. Humph,….Funny, funny. Oh, and its not that the program doesn’t work. It does, I just have problems with structure. Hmmm, imagine that!
So, back to the recipe, this is the infamous Diet Coke Cake. You can make it with any flavor cake mix and any diet drink. I used a strawberry cake mix and a Cherry Diet 7-up. Some recipes do not call for egg whites, but I think you’ll have better results using them. If you are doing weight watchers, this was once 4 points (sans cool whip). I understand the program has changed so that point value might not be accurate anymore. Hmmm, I guess its time to make my yearly donation and find out:)
PS
Don’t worry, my stint with healthy eating usually only lasts as long as the next holiday. I will soon have some serious Sinful Southern Sweets coming up for Valentine’s Day!!
Enjoy!

Ha! Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. Trying to diet and my blogging is suffering for it. Oh well. The cake sounds (and looks) yummy. I was thinking about making my WW donation as well to find out what the new point hub bub is all about. Although I think the new calculations raises the point value of most things, so maybe I'll stick with the old plan :)
LOL..my healthy eating doesn't last long either!!! LOL
Love the diet coke cake!
Hey this looks like something even kiddos would like! This will definitely be something I'll try soon.
This is something I have never seen before!

Hi, what is cool whip? What would be a substitute to use as we don't have that in England?

Hi! Cool Whip is a whipped topping that can be found in the freezer section here in the US. I'm not sure what a good low cal substitute would be in England. You could always use real whipped cream...of course it would not be slimmed down anymore:)
Any type of whipped topping or whipped cream type topping would work. Hope you are able to give it a try. Take Care
Thanks!
