oh my wow! i never even knew you could do that with a diet drink. i may have to try chocolate cupcakes with diet cherry coke! thanks lady you're a lifesaver!
ReplyDeleteThis is too good to be true!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you could cook with the diet soda because of the aspartane, but I could be wrong. Those sound so wonderful. I may have to try devil's food made with a cherry coke.
ReplyDeleteThose look super-yummy! I've never heard of doing this before! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletelove this idea of skinny cupcakes! they look really delicious! xo
ReplyDeleteHuh, I never would have thought you could substitute diet soda. I'll have to try it.

ReplyDeletedelicious! thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWould this work with Beer? I am thinking blue moon cupcakes would be amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWe tried these tonight and they were very tasty. (no frosting, just the cupcake) Thanks for posting your recipe.
ReplyDeleteIs that Points+ values?
ReplyDeleteI have strawberry cake mix and ginger ale on hand (I know not diet) DO you think they would turn out pretty good?
ReplyDeleteI will have to try this one... I have done the chocolate cake mix with Coke Zero and also the Cinnamon Strucel with diet root beer... My kids love the chocolate with diet coke or coke zero.
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be Duncan Hines cake mix or can you use another brand? Also, will diet coke turn the cupcakes a dark color?
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many calories?
ReplyDeleteAre these based on the old weight watchers points system? blakeney_kayla@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter if you use Vanilla Pudding? Or can you use Chocolate or whatever you want?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Meredith.burlon@gmail.com
Made these last night and they are awesome!! Added some red food coloring to the frosting to make it pink for Valentine's day! =)
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the nutrition value on the cupcakes and frosting separate.......Trying to figure out my Weight Watcher points for this. =)
ReplyDeleteI just figured the cupcakes to be 90 calories each (w/out frosting) by typing the ingredients in on myfitnesspal.com
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many calories are in each cupcake?
ReplyDeleteDo you have to use diet soda?
ReplyDeleteI saw a strawberry version of these on pinterest & then made an orange soda version... they are delish! Was wondering about the calorie info & also if you could use regular. You answered all my questions!
ReplyDelete-caroline @ c.w.frosting
Just made these with Pillsbury Sugar Free Classic yellow cake mix with Sprite zero. (And even LESS calories!!) The cupcakes are AMAZING!!! So light and fluffy! I added the Fat Free Sugar Free pudding mix powder directly to the lite Cool Whip. Was I supposed to make the pudding first then mix the finished pudding into the Cool Whip? The frosting turned out great the way I tried it but was a little gritty. Still blown away by this whole idea!!!
ReplyDeleteMelissa
This is my question too about the icing! I have made another recipe using this type of icing but you used the actual pudding mixed with cool whip not just the powder content so I'm not sure which route to go???
DeleteAny response to mntomblin@gmail.com would be helpful! I plan on making them tomorrow evening!
I'm not sure about this recipe but when I have made this type of icing in the past, I used instant pudding mix added directly to the cool whip (in powder form).
DeleteOther recipes I have made with this type of frosting or filling, call for first making the instant pudding then folding it into the cool whip!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have my first batch of these in the oven now and I just have a question. When you said to fill the cupcake liners using a 1/3 of a cup measure did you mean fill them a 1/3 of the way full? I used a 1/3 cup measure and I only got 12 cupcakes? I can't wait to taste them and share them with my co-workers. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

I am wondering about the icing... Do you make the Pudding according to directions on box, then mix with the cool whip OR mix the DRY pudding mix with the cool whip??? I'm wanting to make these for my mom this weekend and for my kids next week...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Heather
godsangel1504@sbcglobal.net
I've made these!! They are amazing!! They're really good if you use a white cake mix and grape or orange pop!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, made them for my husband an he can't believe how moist these are... new family favorite!
ReplyDeleteHowever, should you wear belly button rings frequently,
ReplyDeleteyou need to understand a few things. The cost of your respective custom bridal
jewelry will probably be based on
a couple of things namely design, materials and time.
You may also pass it on o your children as a gift from you.
question: Just to be clear, you just use the mix, and soda. And you don't make the mix as directed, add the eggs and oil?
ReplyDeletePlease email me at jenniferLpowers77@yahoo.com
What makes it explode with regular? Isn't it the same carbonation?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you use regular soda?? The artificial sweetner in diet soda makes me very ill. Please let me know!! Thank you Connie
ReplyDeleteSo I just made these cupcakes according to your recipe, followed the directions TO A TEE, and they turned out like crap!!!! The cupcakes are so soft and have no body to them, that when I tried taking the wrapper off one, the whole thing just completely disintegrated. I'm beyond disappointed. Sorry love, but this recipe is no bueno.
