I am not even kidding when I say this cake is so DANG good!
It could quite possibly be one of the lightest cakes I have ever eaten. If you served this cake to someone, they would have no clue it's a skinny cake.
There are only FOUR total ingredients - A cake mix, a can of soda, light whipped topping and strawberries. That's it.
The cake is made with a cake mix and a can of soda. No oil and no eggs, just soda. It creates the softest, lightest cake and I am blown away by the result.
I love Diet Mountain Dew and that is what I used, but you can't actually taste the soda in the finished cake. If you are against diet sodas, regular works great too. Or if you don't drink caffeine, Sprite is another great option.
This is the perfect light cake for Summer and think of all the different versions you can make by switching up the flavor of cake mix and soda. You will be seeing more versions of this on Eat Cake For Dinner, so be prepared :)

Skinny Mountain Dew Cake
1 (15.25 oz.) yellow cake mix
1 (12 oz.) can Diet Mountain Dew, room temperature
1 (8 oz.) container light whipped topping, thawed
16 oz. strawberries, hulled and chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and can of soda. The soda will foam up a bit. Whisk together until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour into cake pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely. Serve with whipped topping and chopped strawberries.
Jenn's Notes: The cake is so soft and it cuts cleanest when using a serrated knife. Regular soda can be substituted for diet or a different flavor can be substituted for Mountain Dew. I have also tried this cake with vanilla frosting and the whipped topping is a much better option for this light cake.
