Project Pinterest: Orange Sherbet Cake

Updated: 1/12th of the cake (sugar free Pillsbury cake mix and 2 TBSP whipped topping) is 5PointsPlus for Weight Watchers.

This pin intrigued me. Cake + me = true love forever. Like most folks though, my love for cake cannot always be realized because I’d weigh even more than I do now if I indulged in cake every time I wanted to.

Stumbling upon this recipe was my destiny! I could have my cake and eat it too!

I’ve seen lots of variations of this recipe, but this is the one I chose. Click on the picture below for the original source. There were many similar recipes. I omitted the eggs in this recipe (because I didn’t have any) and that did not effect the outcome.


I chose sugar free yellow cake mix (made with Splenda and reduced in calories by about 50 calories a slice when compared to the original cake mix), diet Crush, and lite frozen whipped topping.

Measure out 12 ounces of diet soda.

Pour the soda into the cake mix. Whisk for 30 seconds.


Bake according to the directions on the box. Let the cake cool (if you have the patience for that sort of thing). Top with thawed whip cream. Put on a paper plate. What? Ok, fine, I was too excited to try the cake to even be thinking about photographing in a nice way. You can put it on a nice plate if you’re in to that type of thing and don’t have half of the neighborhood kids waiting for this cake to be done.

On a scale of 1-10 on the diet dessert recipes index, this yummy cake earns a 10 from me! A six-year-old neighbor boy even asked me to write the recipe down for his mom because it was the best cake he’d ever had!

My next flavor combo will be diet Wild Cherry Pepsi with sugar free chocolate cake. I can’t wait to try it!

Can’t wait to check out your posts!

The first shot is SOOC.

The second shot is doctored up a but.

I ran PW’s vintage action, PW’s heartland action, and PW’s warmer, and a quick edge burn at 55% opacity.

Are zombies supposed to be this happy?

This is my blooper shot from last night because you would’ve thought a zombie would give me a little more scary pose for a picture.
