Everyone who knows me well knows that I love Diet Coke®. I've been a fan for years!
There's just something about the delicious taste and that fizz that keeps me coming back
for more.

Many years ago, I heard that you could bake a low-fat cake by simply adding a 12-ounce
can of Diet Coke® to a box of chocolate cake mix. That's it. No oil, eggs or water needed,
just a can of diet soda and cake mix. Diet Coke® and chocolate - I was sold!



I would make the cake from time to time using a sheet pan and it would satisfy my
chocolate craving without the guilt. Win win! Today I'm sharing the same recipe,
but I made the dessert into cupcakes to serve during the holidays. Cupcakes are
easy to serve and look pretty in festive paper liners.

Needless to say I buy a lot of Diet Coke®. Sam's Club offers large packages of 35
twelve ounce cans of Diet Coke®, 32 bottles of Dasani® bottled water, 18.5 oz
bottles of Gold Peak® Sweet Tea and 7.5 ounce, 30 packs of mini cans of Coca-Cola®
and Sprite®. The large packages are nice to have at home, especially during the holidays.
I like having a variety of beverages for my guests to choose from.

Sam's Club makes it easy to shop and even easier to pick up your purchases when you
use Club Pickup. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of trying to lift those heavy
packages of soda and bottled water!  With Club Pickup you simply order online and
Sam's Club will have everything ready for you when you arrive. How great is that!

Not only does Club Pickup save you time, but it also saves money because you aren't
tempted by all of the other goodies like you are when you walk the aisles of the store.
You can check in on the Club Pickup app, at the kiosk inside stores or pull into the
drive-thru area available at some warehouse locations.

I like to serve Chocolate Diet Coke® Cupcakes with a dusting of powdered sugar or
a dollop of whipped cream. Either way, they are delicious and satisfy my craving for
something sweet.

It's nice to have a variety of beverages, snacks and desserts available for all of your guests,
especially during the holidays. Diet Coke® cupcakes are easy to make and are a nice option
for friends and family that stop by to visit. Don't forget to stock up on the variety of drinks
available at Sam's Club!
