I have seen pins all over Pinterest for cupcakes made with diet soda.  I gave up diet soda but we had some diet mountain dew in the house and a box of strawberry cake mix.  Figuring I don’t like strawberry or mountain dew, I wanted to try the recipe, taste it and not feel bad if I didn’t like it.

Unfortunately, I did like it.  The recipe was simple, 12 oz of diet soda and 1 box of cake  mix mixed together.  The cupcakes turned out nice and fluffy.  The kids loved them too.
