I've never done this with cake mix, but let me tell you, 7up makes my waffles nice and fluffy!

ETA: to add to Maggie A's answer, if you try diet, use one containing Splenda!. Aspartame (NutraSweet) and saccharin (do they still even put that in soda that's not Tab!?) won't stand up to the heat of your oven quite as well!. Plus, aspartame converts to formaldehyde in your body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Baking is like chemistry, you need the correct ingredients in the correct amount or the recipe will not work as intended!. A good cookbook will tell you what you can substitute if you don't have certain ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, you can!. I've tried it!. It turns out fine!. It has a good taste, but it is a bit dryer than if you used oil, or eggs!. It's quick and it's easy!. I used diet coke with a chocolate cake mix!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

yupp
i've had chocolate cake with just a can of diet coke in it!. it's surprisingly good!. it's actually a weight watcher's recipe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

right if you use a light colored cake mi x - white or yellow - use a light colored soda - 7 up or lemon lime or maybe fresca (ew)
or sprite!.

But Coca cola with your chocolate cake mix - I did it once!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It may replace the water, but you really need the eggs!. And I wouldn't add more soda than it calls for water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It works very nicely!. I could give you a site to go to but Yahoo Answers says posting such is a violation of solicitation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yuck, no!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
