Pin-spired Recipe
wo Ingredient Cupcakes
Nothing that's come out of my kitchen has ever made it onto this blog... until today.
When I saw on Pinterest that you can make cupcakes with only 2 ingredients, I had to try it for myself.
When the future Mr. Frosting pronounced that cupcakes made of diet soda sounded gross, I had to find out what these cupcakes would taste like.
Stephanie at Lady With The Red Rocker used strawberry cake mix and diet 7 up. Since diet Sunkist is my favorite, also seen here and here, I mixed it with white cake mix to create a fluffy creamsicle-inspired dessert.
Read on for the recipe.

Mmmm - I'm not sure about the 'diet' sunkist but they look delicious! I wonder if they taste slightly different or exactly the same with normal sunkist?? Just followed you in Pinterest too :)
ReplyDeleteaccording to THIS post you cannot use regular soda... only diet! xo
Deletethey taste better with normal sunkist that's all i've used when i make them and i add orange cream frosting it's the kind you mix the powder and frosting together it's not for everyone but hubby really loves orange cream
DeleteI an quite intrigued by these cupcakes. I might just have to make them to see how they taste!
ReplyDeleteThese sound very interesting! I am very curious as to how these would taste- may have to make them!
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous and definitely look prettier than I would have thought or imagined from the title... I totally want to try them now! : )
ReplyDelete-Mel the Crafty Scientist
They look so pretty, and yes I am going to try this!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I have yet to try this for myself, but I'd really like to. Wonder how many calories there are per cup cake.
ReplyDeleteaccording to THIS post at Fashion Meets Food, they are 90 calories (1.5 weight watchers points) per cupcake! xo
DeleteI've always wondered how this recipe REALLY would turn out! I would love it if you would consider linking to Busy Monday at A Pinch of Joy, a Sunday through Thursday link party for ideas that make life easier, better and more fun!
ReplyDeleteWow. These look unbelievably delicious!! thanks for sharing. I'm going to pin this recipe. Take care, Linda
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious ...so easy too. I think I am going to have try it.
ReplyDeleteOooh, good combo! I use stevia sweetened soda to avoid the synthetic sweeteners, and they do have an orange flavor so YAY!

Oh my word, this looks delicious! I'm a new follower and would love to have you stop by and follow too! I also have my first link party and a give-away going on now through Saturday night. I hope you'll stop by and share this at the party!
ReplyDeleteReally? This is incredible! and EASY! They look Delish! Definitely going to have to try this one out. Thanks for sharing! I saw you over at 36th Ave. link party!
ReplyDeleteI made these also using lemon cake mix and diet 7 up. They do tend to get gooey. I have seen that you can use regular pop though.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful! I love orange creamsicle and simple recipes... might need to try this sometime!
ReplyDeleteWow, these look great! I happen to have Diet Sunkist in my fridge right now and a box of cake mix in the cupboard and I bet I have Cool Whip in the freezer...know what that means? Yep tomorrow we'll be enjoying cupcakes :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this fantastic recipe find.

These look great! I had no idea that you could use sodas to make baked goodies. Thanks for linking up to the Winter Pinterest Challenge!
ReplyDeleteErin @ The Great Indoors
I just shared this recipe over on my blog. We made them the other night. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this great recipe.

Just made these -- used a yellow cake mix and 14 oz of the diet soda (since I bought a 20 oz bottle and the batter looked a little thick). Also added sugar-free vanilla pudding to the whipped cream -- about 1/2 package. My calculations have the calories at 132 each -- yum!
ReplyDeleteI found your recipe on Pinterest and copied it almost exactly. DELISH! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - especially the Cool Whip frosting idea. mmm!
I featured a link back to you on my blog post about my Soda Cupcakes
http://humberhomeproject.blogspot.com/2012/04/orange-soda-cupcakes.html
I am off to the store to buy the ingredients! I teach kindergarten and bring a different kind of cupcake each Monday for my co-workers..."Cupcake Monday"! Hope these prove to be a hit! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletecan also do chocolate devils food cake mix and i can pumpkin(15 oz) same directions!! they are great!
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic Weight Watchers recipe. In the past I have used half a can of soda and added a small can of mandarin oranges. Then for the frosting, add half a package of sugar free vanilla pudding powder and a can of crushed pineapple (drained). FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I would like to try these with lemon cake mix and either diet sprite or diet sun drop. The possibilities are endless. :)
ReplyDeleteok, so i just made this, but i think i messed up... i added water, eggs, oil like the box says to do. But im thinking the soda replaces all of them, or maybe omit the water? Any helpful tips?
ReplyDeleteHi Deanna, couldn't find your email to respond. To answer your question: yes, the soda replaces the water/eggs/oil. So all you need are two ingredients! 1) cake mix powder, 2) can of diet soda. Hope you get to try the recipe again, xo
DeleteDeanna, thank you for asking this question. I looked to see if the soda replaced everything but the cakemix too. I make Banana Bread from a spice cake mix by using 3 bananas in place of the water and adding nuts too.
DeleteI'd like to try this because my granddaughter is allergic to eggs. I tried an eggless cake recipe last month (cake mix, greek yogurt, water) and it tasted great, although the cupcake paper was hard to peel away from the cupcake. I'm wondering if your recipe sticks to the cupcake paper?
ReplyDeleteI am a member of Weight Watchers and these are the only kinds of cakes I make anymore. They are super moist and you can use any flavor combo. For example, chocolate cake mix + diet dr. pepper or diet root beer, white cake mix + diet 7-up, etc. I usually blend my free cool whip with a pudding or gelatin of a corresponding flavor, orange cake with orange frosting.
ReplyDeleteIts look so nice never tried this before its recipes seems to be easy to cook.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Weight Watchers Recipie! We make bundt cakes like this. I do milk chocolate cake with diet root beer, and we did a lemon cake with diet sprite or 7up. We almost never put any frosting on them
ReplyDeleteI did this but used orange cake mix with diet Sunkist to give it even more orange flavor and it was a hit. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMimi, my son had a severe egg allergy when he was little. I have an awesome chocolate cake recipe that is egg-free. Email me if you are interested and I will send it to you. cindram27@gmail.com .
ReplyDeleteI made these today with a sugar free yellow cake mix. I also added an egg, thinking it might help the "gooey" texture. I used DietRite orange soda. I also added a couple of drops of orange extract...........they are perfect and AMAZING! This will be my new go-to recipe.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought that this is possible but there you go and prove that it is. Looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteHow much cool whip???
ReplyDeleteI used about 2-4 tablespoons per cupcake. One 8oz container was enough for the 16 cupcakes.
DeleteI've made these twice so far and they are in my oven again as we speak :) I use normal Sunkist and not Diet Sunkist, and they turn out just fine for me.
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the regular Sunkist! Glad you like them!
DeleteCan i make this as a cake instead of cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteYes! I actually got the idea from a cake recipe (click here).
DeleteI used mini cupcake pans and the cupcake fell apart. They were moist and very tasty but I don't know why they didn't come out of the mini wrappers easily? Over all, everyone loved them.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why they fell apart. I googled around a bit, maybe shorten the baking time or it has something to do with the cupcake liners? Glad they still tasted yummy!

I made the cupcakes tonight and the same thing happened to me, the cake stuck to the cupcake liners and it was very difficult to eat. Delicious but mess and had to dig it out of the liner, not fun. I thought to do it again and spray muffin tray and just put cake in muffin pans without the liners. Love the easiness of it all. Margaret in Colorado
