Lemon Ooey-Gooey cake

Oh, the wonders of Pinterest.

I stumbled across this beauty on a random post and thought it was too good to be true.

A delicious lemon cake that is not bad for you!?

& with only 3 ingredients?!

SOLD.

I had my family over for lunch this past Sunday and I wanted to whip up a dessert that was cheap, easy and not bad for you.

So, I thought I would give it a try.

I didn't realize the middle would be gooey, but it was still very tasty!

Just 3 ingredients:

Box of lemon cake

20 ounces (2 1/2 cups) of Diet 7up

Light Cool whip

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the cake mix and 20 ounces of Diet 7UP together in a bowl

At first this was difficult as the fizzes went down. I found a whisk worked far better than a spoon.

Pour into a 9x13 pan.

The blurb I found on pinterest stated to cook it for 30 minutes.

In my oven it was just barely brown and still VERY gooey in the middle.

So I cooked it for another 5-10 minutes until the cake was brown and "cracking" on top. This made for a crunchier outside and gooey middle. Which was very tasty.

I don't have any more pictures because I was busy cooking a lasagna among other things and completely forgot. Oops!

When cool, frost your cake with your cool whip.

**Wait for your cake to 100% cool!

This was the mistake that I made, and the cake absorbed the cool whip and I had to use another container I happened to have.

I thought it was all the way cool, but obviously I was wrong.

My family loved the cake and even asked for some to take home.

I have seen more and more cakes pop up like this that contain a box and soda.

Do you have a recipe like this that you love?
