Is this the diet soda cake recipe you used?

1 box of any cake mix.. dry
1 - 12 oz. can of diet soda. . any flavor
2 egg whites...doesn't matter if you beat the egg whites or not first

Mix these 3 ingredients together in a bowl
in all recipes unless stated otherwise
Bake in a 9 x12 Cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees ...for what ever box calls for

Variations using different cakes and soda:
1 box of Butter Cream Cake mix
1-12 oz. Can of Diet Seven Up Wild Berry Plus
Blueberries ... fresh... or a 16 oz. bag of frozen blueberries.
. .or mixed frozen berries
this one you
Pre Heat oven at 350 degrees
Lightly spray pan with butter cooking spray. ...
Layer ingredients:
1st layer of Berries..than-Cake Mix... Diet Mixed Berry 7-up Plus
It's just like making what is called Dump cake!

Bake for about 35 minutes or until top is golden brown!
Serve hot or cold! Oh this is good you could
(while still hot) add a scoop of ice cream!!

or try
1 can of Diet cream soda . . excellent addition to any flavor cake mix -
vanilly tasting

or
Chocolate Cake mix...1- Diet Root Beer ... 2 beaten egg whites
So - moist ..yummy..

or

Chocolate Fudge Cake mix with pudding in the mix ..
1-12 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper
Add a few chopped walnuts... gives a cherry yet nutty flavor

No reason not to make cup cakes out of these

Don't use oil or the whole eggs in a mix again unless it is on these recipes
It's better without them! However, beating the eggs takes out the air and makes it lighter and fluffier.

This sound so good thanks for the recipe I will give this a try but now I think that I am going to make me some sweet bread you have made me want a cake.

Sorry - I know what you mean - 'm still craving for baked ziti!!! That's the bad part about recipe sites - you start reading certain recipes and then you want them!

Well, nothing can beat the quality of home-made mixes especially those made by pros. Cake mixes are great if you really don't have enough time but they're just mixtures of flour and some other powders, priced more than double that if you mix it yourself.
