Why on earth would anyone do that? I would guess that you replace the water with the diet coke. It would make for a disgusting cake though. For a yummy cake, replace the oil with applesauce!

I’ve done it in a cake before for the kids. It turns out fine if you substitute the Coke for the water and half of the oil. You still need the eggs though.

I haven’t tried this myself, so I can’t tell if it works or not. But Jane Parks-McKay promises that it’s for real. It’s a reduced-calorie cake made with diet soft drinks.
She says, Take a favorite cake mix and add only diet soda. Do not put in eggs, milk, oil, water, or whatever. For light-colored or spice cake, mix in diet Sprite. For chocolate or dark-colored cake, use diet Coke. Bake as the directions say, let cool and ice with low/non-fat whipped cream. I tried this for a church potluck and it took care of my sweet tooth without the guilt.
Jane says that you should substitute the same amount of liquid that the mix calls for. If it requires a half-cup of oil and a half-cup of water, for example, use a full cup of soft drink. It’s normal, Jane says, to have a certain amount of foam factor.
Diet Coke Cake
1 box Betty Crocker Devils Food cake mix
10 ounces of Diet Coke
Mix together, adding more or less Diet Coke to get a nice batter.
Spray a 9X13 (or larger) baking pan with non-stick spray, and lightly flour.
Bake at 350 degrees until it springs back in the center when touched.
There was some confusion on the WWW board as to the points per slice. So if you are counting points I would do the counts yourself.
Servings: 24 / 2 points or 12 3-4 points (there was some major debate depending on the cake mix used I think.)
Could also use this recipe with other diet sodas/cake mixes for example:
diet ginger ale/strawberry cake mix
diet mountain dew/lemon cake mix

Take chocolate cake mix and mix it with 1 can of diet coke (10-12 oz.). Bake as directed on the back of the cake mix box. It makes the moistest chocolate cake ever. All you use is the cake powder and the diet coke (no eggs,milk,etc…)! if making a vanilla cake you can use Diet sprite!
Have fun!!

Lots of people responded with a chocolate cake/coke recipe. Have you ever tried a yellow cake with diet cream soda? YUM Top with light cool whip and you can have a couple of cupcakes without a moment of feeling guilty.
