This is yumminess squared! I’m pinning this for later and can’t wait to try it:)

Ash says:

Not a fan of diet coke. Do you think regular coke would work the same? I know it won’t be as skinny, but I’m ok with that 😉

From Sugar Cookies to Peterbilts says:

These sound amazing!

Elizabeth says:

Made these tonight, and they were delicious! 🙂 They tasted like they were double the calories! I felt that it was definitely a scant 1/4 cup of batter to make 24 cupcakes. I had to spoon some of the batter into the rest of the empty cupcakes to make a total of 24. Thanks for the delicious recipe! 🙂

Living a Healthy Lifestyle says:

Each cake recipe is a completely different taste experience, and all are equally delectable. Nothing beats the smell of a cake being baked in the oven. Forget air fresheners, bake a cake for the perfect home scent!

Can you taste the “diet” taste in the cupcakes?

Lorraine Decker says:

Do you mix the pudding as per the directions on the box before mixing with the cool whip, or just the powder?

Aly Miazga says:

I saw this and put my own spin on these little babies! So delicious 🙂

Delicious!

Erika Huth says:

These look so yummy! Any advice on how to keep the cupcakes from sticking to the liner? Mine never turn out right.

Six Sisters says:

Hi Erika!

I haven’t had a problem with these cupcakes sticking to the liner. Sorry I am not more help! Let us know if you try them!

Six Sisters says:

Hi Ash!

I think it would work just as well! 🙂

Six Sisters says:

Hi Stacy!

I couldn’t taste the “diet” taste at all! Hope you like them!

Six Sisters says:

Hi Lorraine!

Just mix the pudding mix powder and the cool whip. Hope you like them!

Jennifer Magbuhat says:

Do the cupcakes need to be stored in the fridge since it has cool whip frosting?
Can’t wait to try these!!! 🙂

Six Sisters says:

Hi!

We store them in the fridge just to be safe. Hope you like them!

Hannahnichole85 says:

These turned out much better than expected! They didn’t taste low fat which is a plus :p

Abby Knous says:

Do you know how many points plus value these cupcakes are? Thanks! 🙂

Amanda says:

Thank you for the recipe! It inspired me to make myself a “guilt free” birthday cake using a slightly modified version of this recipe. It turned out AMAZING!

Jami says:

The cupcake batter was crazy dense! More so than a brownie batter… I had to spoon it into the liners. They turned out yummy for sure! Like a brownie cupcake 😀 We absolutely loved the frosting and plan on using it again on other cakes! Thanks for sharing!

Kathryn L says:

Hi from the UK!

Over here we can’t get Cool Whip, but I make my own with milk, a little sugar, vanilla and xanthan gum. I can get Oreo Jell-o through an American food-stuffs supplier, but I was wondering about the Devil’s cake food mix. Is this Betty Crocker’s? Because there is a Betty Crocker’s Devil’s cake food mix in the local supermarkets..

So want to try this recipe 😀

Six Sisters says:

Betty Crocker Devils Food Cake mix is perfect! Best of luck to you!

Stacey says:

I calculated them to be 3 pts plus per cupcake based on the nutritional values shown with the photo above.

andria says:

Can you use Diet Dr. Pepper?

Cyd says:

Yes, any dark diet soda will work.

Autumn says:

Now would this cake mix recipe work in doing a molten cake? Just bake it for half the time?

Madeline says:

Hi there, I made these and once I made the frosting it was a little bit too soft, so I put it in the freezer for a bit. I took it out and mixed it with my electric mixer again, and it turned very gummy and the color got darker. It also shrunk down a lot. Any idea why that is?

Jennifer says:

I tried this recipe and I love them! I didnt have chocolate chips but I had some 100 calorie oreo thin crisps that I crushed and mixed in the frosting. Delicious!

Shalleene says:

I just made these and they are yummy!

valentina says:

hi girls, LOVE your recipes <3
writing from italy, i can't really find devil's food box here ..
so i was wondering whats inside exactly?
i guessed it could be powdered stuffs like flour, cocoa but i didnt know about powdered eggs and powdered milk. since i would like to try it ..any tips for what i can add to flour, cocoa and diet coke?
in italy powdered eggs doesn't exist and not even milk (and i am afraid of reaction fresh milk+coke)
thanks for your help 🙂

Jenna says:

Hello!

This recipe turned great for me. I used Duncan Hines Devils Food cake mix and I was about to get about 21 cupcakes. I’m allergic to dairy so I substituted the fat free cool whip with a combination of tofu, vanilla extract, soymilk and truvia sweetener to add to the Oreo pudding packet and they were SO good. I’m wondering now how I could figure out the nutrition facts since I altered the recipe?

Thanks again for sharing the recipe!
