Do You Have These PC Show Recipes? Hot Crab Dip & Coca-Cola Cake

[k1tchng0ddess]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had the following recipes that 2 prospective hosts have requested:
1) Hot Crab Dip
2) A cake made in the microwave that you use Coca-Cola to make???

Both ladies told me that they had these items at PC shows and would like to make them. Has anyone ever heard of these? I did a search on the site, but I came up empty.
Thanks in advance,
Barbara

Here's the Hot Crab Dip I have used. It was in the SB Fall/Winter 2003.

It is called Cheesy Crab Dip. This is the one I have been using for years (before I became a consultant).

It is better with real crab meat (I think), but the last time I made it, I used imitation and everyone still liked it.

The cake with coke would be this. You take any kind of cake mix and add a can of diet pop and mix it and bake (or microwave) for a low fat cake. Like chocolate cake mix with diet coke/pepsi, or a yellow cake with diet sprite/7-up, pineapple upside down with diet sprite... the possibilities are endless. It also figures up to 2 points for Weight Watchers (depending on the size of pieces). HTH!

Thanks Ladies, you've all been very helpful! Does the soda cake really taste good???? The person I spoke to was raving about it! LOL

 

[Camoblonde39]

Yes, the recipe w/the soda does taste good. I originally heard of that recipe when I was doing weight watchers.

 

[KristinS]

Ooooohhhh... I've never heard of the soda cake. I wonder how chocolate cake w/diet Dr. Pepper would be... I love chocolate/cherry cake. I might have to try this one tonight!

 

[mscharf]

do you still put in the oil, water, and eggs?

 

[Shawn Prouty]

No you do not have to use any of the other ingredients. Just the cake mix and diet soda. When I use the microwave in the fluted bunt pan, I will cook it for about 9 to 10 minutes though

The cake is a little denser (I think that's the right description) than normal cake, but very good and low in fat and calories (that's why you don't use the other ingredients).... You can also use a spice cake mix with a can of pumpkin (not the pumpkin pie mix) and put it in muffin pan and each muffin is either 1 or 2 points (weight watchers) and it's very good. And the Cool Whip Free whipped topping is 0 points, so you can just put on a dollop of that and you're good to go! or sprinkle a little powdered sugar... Very good! I'm feeling the need for dessert now!
