Egg yolks will emulsify the oil and water. Whites also have some protein. Angel food rises higher and is less dense and more airy. I used this in in my classes and called it "kitchen chemistry". The kids loved when they could eat the experiments.

Similar recipes include regular cake mix with only diet soda added. Weight Watchers (found this on recipes.com) says to use yellow box mix with diet lemon-lime or white cake mix with orange or cream soda. Haven't tried these but they had many positive reviews. The carbonation makes the rising. Let me know if you try any of these please. :)

I have made the Weight Watchers recipes for cakes, cake mix, diet soda and have added a package of sugar free jello-example- white cake mix, orange diet soda, orange sugar free jello. Very moist and tasty- I bake mine in cupcakes- one cupcake 2 WW points.

I've made this with crushed pineapple and it's yummy. Now I'll have to try the pie filling.

1 large can any fruit or fruit pie filling

Mix together dry cake mix and canned fruit WITH JUICE or pie filling.

Pour into greased 9 by 13 pan.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Crunchy top, soft middle.

Another post said she uses reg. angel food pans for this also - could probably use any type pan - I'd set the timer for 25 min., then test for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center & continue baking according to how the pick comes out.

Good luck, have a blessed week end. :lol:

try the angel food cake with a can of lemon pie filling...bake at 350 in a 9x13 cake pan that you have sprayed with PAM until it is lightly golden. When it cools a bit give it a light dusting of powdered sugar. cut into squares. The BEST lemon bars!
