This is a wonderful cake recipe! I made it for a monthly birthday celebration at the office and many colleagues requested copies of the recipe.

This was wonderful. I wish I could give it 6 stars. Best recipe I've found with Taste of Home Healthy yet and low calorie!

You can also make this cake by substituting the water with Diet Sprite/7-Up. I often vary the flavors by using lemon cake mix and pudding mix and other flavors.

I made both versions and everyone who tried them loved it! I think next time I might try the low sugar cake mix.
