Soda Pop Cake

I was told about this mixture tonight a my choir practice. I have never heard of this, until I just read it on the Internet. When I was a Weight Watcher attendee we were told to make our cakes with applesauce, instead of adding the oil, to make them less fattening. Now, this is really quite amazing to me to know you can add one 12 oz. can of any flavor diet soda to a cake mix and nothing else, except the box cake mix. It just blows my mind. I'm definitely going to try this.
