Baking Tip (9)

I’ve read this little secret somewhere but I still have not tried it, nevertheless, I’d like to share it with all of you.

If you want to cut calories from your favorite cake, use a 12 oz. can of cola in place of the oil, eggs and water when preparing a packaged chocolate cake mix.  Blend for 2 minutes, then bake as directed on the box.  The sugary liquid acts as a binding agent, clumping the flour and sugar together, while the carbonation ensures the sweet treat comes out moist and fluffy – and with 75 percent less fat.  The article says, you can also try different flavor combinations like lemon cake mix with lemon lime soda.
