Mix cake and soda and bake following normal directions. Cool completely. Mix cool whip and pudding/jello. Spread on cake.
My favorite is a white cake with a can of diet sunkist. Then use fat free cool whip and sugar free orange jello. If doing weight watchers, this cake cut into 12 pieces is 3 points each.
Can also use chocolate cake and root beer. Mix cool whip with chocolate pudding.
I also really like the chocolate cake prepared as listed above with the cool whip mixed with sugar free cheesecake pudding. Yummy!
I wouldn't have thought abou the cool whip frosting.. good tip
enjoy!!
