Have your spoon cake and eat it to

Mar 30th, 2009 by Lilfix

Spoon cake is a recipe that evolved out of necessity. It is actually a recipe that I got from a lady doing Weight Watchers and it is wonderful and diet friendly.

The first time I made Spoon Cake it wasn't called Spoon Cake.  The cake fell apart when I was trying to get it out of the Bundt pan, so I decided to spoon the cake into dessert dishes, drizzle icing on it and call it Spoon Cake. So here is how you make this very easy and tasty cake:

Ingredients:

  • I package cake mix (*any flavor)
  • I can of diet soda ( ** see below)
  • 1 tub of icing (any flavor)

* & ** If you use a dark colored cake mix you will want a dark colored soda (chocolate cake = diet coke / yellow cake = diet sprite, etc.)

Pour cake mix into a large mixing bowl, pour diet soda into the bowl and mix with electric mixer until well blended.  Pour into a Bundt Pan.  Bake per cake box instructions.  Once cake has cooled, take a spoon and 'crumble' it in the pan.  Spoon crumbled cake into individual bowls or you can spoon half the mixture into a large dessert serving bowl, drizzle half the icing over cake, put rest of cake in dessert bowl and drizzle with rest of icing .

To make the 'drizzle' you will want to peel the foil off of the tub of icing and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds on high (icing needs to be thin enough to drizzle over cake, so you might have to microwave it for 5 seconds longer until melted).  Take a spoon and stir the icing and then drizzle it over the individual cakes.  Keep the cake in refrigerator until ready to serve. Keep any leftover cake in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!

I have used strawberry cake mix with diet sprite and drizzled strawberry icing, sliced a few strawberries up and used them as garnishment.

Mix and mingle the cake mix, soda and icing.  Just remember that a dark colored cake (chocolate, red velvet, etc) gets a dark diet soda and a light colored cake mix (yellow, strawberry, spice, etc) gets a light colored diet soda.

Be prepared to make this cake often.  My husband asks for it all the time!
