2 ingredient fat-free dessert

That may be THE most misleading title for a post I have ever made!

I’m sorry about that. The fact is that you don’t need a recipe or a post to make this “2 ingredient no-calorie dessert.” All you need is to buy a box of Angel Food Cake Mix to achieve the same end result.

Except for one minor little change…

The Angel Food Cake Mix called for water as ingredient #2, I used diet orange soda to make this a Creamsicle Angel Food Cake.

Keep reading if you’re intrigued, if not, come back tomorrow. But know before you go, Creamsicles were my favorite thing on earth when I was 8 years old.

When we were kids and we’d hear the music from the ice cream truck, playing from a block or two away… best moment of our lives!  And the tart orange with the creamy vanilla of the Creamsicle was like heaven on earth on a hot Arizona summer day.

That is what inspired this cake on a hot Arizona summer day last weekend.

Creamsicle Angel Food Cake

1 Angel Food Cake mix
1  1/4 cups diet orange soda

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Place the cake mix and the soda in the bowl of a standing mixer.

Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to high and beat for 1 minute.

Pour and spread into an ungreased tube pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and dry to the touch.

Place a wine bottle in the center hole.

Carefully flip the bottle upside-down and let cool completely.

When cool, run a knife around the edges…

… and along the bottom between the cake and the pan and transfer to a plate or cake pedestal.

Use a serrated knife to slice into wedges and serve as is or with fat-free yogurt.

Serves 8 to 10
