Diet Soda Cake


This isn't exercise, but I modified a recipe to cut calories and figured I'd share.

Main ingredient stuff-->

Diet Mtn Dew Cake

1 box lemon cake mix (160 cal/srv x 12 servings=1920 calories)
1 can Diet Mtn Dew (0 calories)
1 tsp lime juice (0 calories)
1 serving natural applesauce (50 calories total)
1 package sugar free Instant pistachio pudding mix (30 cal/srv x 4 servings=120 calories)

Mix all incredients; blend well. Pour into 8x8 foil pan (what I did) or larger. It makes more than just the pan. Bake at 350 degrees.  Made some mini-cupcakes with the leftover batter; those took about 15 minutes to cook.  The recipe I used called for 30 minutes. I'd say 30-35, depending on your oven.

Topping

1/3 cup Splenda (0 calories)
1/2 can crushed pineapple in juice (not syrup)  (roughly 160 calories total)
1 tsp of cornstarch (trace)

Mix in a saucepan. Bring to boil.  Pour pineapple mixture over the cake to finish. 

Separately, I took 10 squirts of spray butter, a few tsp of coconut (70 calories for a serving), and 1 tsp lime juice and browned the coconut to sprinkle on top.

Total calories for entire recipe=2320
12 servings would be 193 calories per serving
