At a recent Pampered Chef party in my neighborhood, I learned how to make my favorite new summer treat. Diet-Coke-Microwave-Chocolate Cake. It's easy. And it's perfect to make on a day like today, what is anticipated to be the hottest day of the summer in my area. It's also perfect, because your oven and air conditioner don't need to compete. It's mid-July, and I haven't turned on my oven in weeks...recipes like this make that possible.
The ingredient list is short. And bizarre. So I was a skeptic. But then I watched the consultant mix, microwave, and serve this little slice...well, more like a blob...of heaven.
Diet Coke Microwave Chocolate Cake
Mix in a large casserole dish or mixing bowl...
1-dry cake mix (no eggs, no oil, no water...just the mix)
1-12-ounce can of diet coke
Top with dollops of chocolate frosting, using the entire can. You can swirl it around if you want, but it's not necessary.
Microwave it for 8 minutes.
It's not the prettiest dessert, so I recommend churching it up a bit. I topped it with strawberries (sliced and sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar) and whipped cream.
Y-U-M!
