Weight Watchers Recipe of The Day: 2-Ingredient Club Soda Cake
Dessert doesn’t get much easier than this 2-Ingredient Weight Watchers Club Soda Cake, which turned out better than I expected.
I first learned of Diet Soda Cake years ago at a Weight Watchers meeting. But because I never really liked the taste of artificially sweetened soda and because Splenda gives me a headache, I never pursued it.
Then I heard about using club soda or sparkling water instead of diet soda and thought I’d give it a try.
I enjoy baking from scratch, but don’t always have the time or patience for it. That’s when I turn to the convenience and reliability of cake mixes.
The Skinny on Weight Watchers Club Soda Cake
I like to use Betty Crocker cupcake mix when baking cakes. They make one little layer instead of two. (You could always use half a regular 2-layer cake mix instead.)
WW Friendly Microwave Mug Cake
I know from experience when it comes to trying to stay happy, healthy and slim, little cakes are a safer, better bet than big ones, which is why I’m also such a fan of 3-2-1 Microwave mug cake.
I also added a teaspoon of vanilla for good measure. Then spread the finished cooled cake with the thinnest possible layer of chocolate frosting.
This Weight Watchers club soda cake turned out sweet, moist and fluffy. We didn’t miss the eggs or oil a bit.
Frosting Club Soda Cake
Each slice of this Weight Watchers Club Soda Cake has 159 calories and *4 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *8 WW Freestyle SmartPoints
If you’re not a fan of frosting you could sprinkle on a little confectioner’s sugar instead and save yourself *2 SmartPoints in the process. Enjoy!

I don’t like ‘fake’ sweeteners either and made a boxed chocolate cake with club soda last year. To make it even better, I added chopped walnuts and instant espresso coffee granules. It was a hit.

Hi Barbara,
Love the idea of doctoring up the club soda cake with chopped walnuts and instant espresso. Yum 🙂
Barb
Thanks for posting this. I have used the cake w/diet soda in the past. I like the idea of a smaller cake and not using something with artificial sweetener since recently some family members have been getting migraines from them.

You’re welcome, Barb! I really think the club soda is a great alternative.

I was wondering if you can use regular cake mix and still make two cakes just using 2/3 cup diet soda?Or should I double amount of soda?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Brenda,
If you want to use a whole cake mix to make 2 cakes you will want to double the amount of soda because you are doubling the amount of cake mix. You could also bake all the batter at once in a 9×13-inch pan. Just bake according the the time suggested on the box of cake mix.
Hope this helps.
