I suspect if you double the butter (or if the directions call for oil, add an equivalent amount of butter also) and add 1/2 cup of sugar, the cake will fall and give you something resembling brownies -- but I haven't tried it. It sounds like a fun experiment. I think I have a box of dark chocolate cake mix in the pantry.... Bob |

"I have several boxes of devil's food cake mixes on hand. Rathan than a

She uses cake mixes in unique ways, doctoring them up so you'd never know your finished product started out from a mix. And - believe it or not - some of her desserrts are to die for! |

Quite by chance, I just came across the following. I expect you can use
regular Coke if you wanted to: Diet Coke Brownies 1 box devil's food or chocolate cake mix 10-12 oz. Diet Coke Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix the above ingredients (must use at least 10 oz. of soda) depending on the consistency that you want the batter to be. Pour and spread out evenly into pan and bake about 30 minutes or until you touch it and it comes back. Let cool completely before you slice it. Makes 24 servings at 2 points each. (weight watchers) Note: can be made in a 24 mini muffin pan, each muffin is 2 points. |

It might taste fine, but most anyone I know can tell the tastes apart. Same as people who claim that people can't tell the diff between pepsi and coke. I will say that I like the new C2 Coke which is half and half. Goomba |

"Just to be sure I have this right --
The directions on the box cake mix call for adding water, oil, and eggs. DO you mean, ignore all of that, and JUST add the soft drink to the powdered cake mix? None of the other stuff?" That's all that was in the recipe! I haven't tried it, just copied it for you when I came across it. |

I don't think it is recommended to heat aspartane which is the sweetner
in diet Coke. I would try it with Diet Rite Cola which is sweetened with Splenda- which you can heat. |

"I don't think it is recommended to heat aspartane which is the sweetner

I mean, you're spreading the calories from a can over, what, about 24 brownies - it wouldn't add a whole lot of them to each one. But I agree - if you're set on using diet, go with Diet Rite or else I believe Coke has a new product which is half sugar, half Splenda. |
