Easiest Cake Ever

Last night I made my new favorite cake.  The Diet Coke cake.  I tried it a while back, and it was a huge mess, but tasted good.  I've made it since then and while the taste continues to rock, the cake continues to crumble.  I usually serve it with a fork and put a bowl of icing nearby so people can make a mess creation of their own.  However, I just discovered the secret to getting this cake to come out perfectly.  It's not too tricky and I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize this earlier.  Life goes on...

Diet Coke Cake

• Any box of cake mix (I use devil's food cake)
• 1 Diet Coke
• Mix and bake per box instructions.
• The trick: let it COOL.  COMPLETELY COOL.

I really enjoy this cake partnered with:

Cream Cheese Icing

• 8 oz. cold cream cheese (I use fat free.  I recently discovered that its worth paying a bit more for Philidelphia, rather than the Piggly Wiggly brand...tastes better.)
• 5 tbsp. butter
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• Beat together and then add 2 c powdered sugar. I add it 1 cup at a time.

Voilla.  Last night I made it in 2 round cake pans and layered it with the icing.  Looks good enough to eat!
