SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the successful preparation of Weight Watchers diet soda cakes in the microwave. Users reported that using only cake mix and diet soda resulted in a spongy texture, while adding 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters significantly improved the cake's texture and appearance without increasing calorie points. Two variations were highlighted: a chocolate cake made with Diet Coke and a lemon cake made with diet lemon-lime soda, both of which received positive feedback. The discussion emphasizes the effectiveness of incorporating Egg Beaters for a better outcome.

I've made three of these in the past week. The first one I made I used just the cake mix and diet soda. The cake came out somewhat "spongy" and didn't raise as much as I thought it should. It tasted good, though. The next two I made I added 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters and the texture/apperance was perfect! Because I used Egg Beaters, no additional "points" were added, but I truly feel the addition of it made a big difference to the end result. I made a chocolate cake with Diet Coke and a lemon cake with diet lemon-lime soda and they were both big hits. The chocolate one was the favorite, but everyone commented on how great they both tasted. I sold several Stoneware Fluted Pans at the show, too!
Even though I prefer the standard 1-2-3 cake recipe, I would demo this one again for anyone looking for a low-calorie dessert at a show.
