The Prettiest Disgusting Cake in the World!

So Matt spotted this recipe from Omnomicon and we really wanted to try it! It was a low fat, low sugar rainbow cake that used clear diet soda in place of butter and eggs, and sugar free instant pudding and light cool whip in place of frosting. You use food coloring to make the cake look like a rainbow! I must tell you I was so excited to try this out. In my mind I was imagining what angel food cake and whip cream frosting taste like... Here's the thing. This cake tastes nothing like any even semi-decent cakes I've ever tasted; I'm sorry to say. I should have known better because I really hate all things that taste like diet anything. So, this is totally just my opinion. But, it was absolutely the worst tasting thing I've ever been unfortunate enough to eat! But, my husband LOVED it. So, maybe you'll like it too! I don't think Matt has ever had a cake all to himself so I'm almost happy I hated it because he is in heaven. And, it's not terribly bad for him so I can't complain about him eating the whole thing:) I'm definitely going to try this rainbow idea again, but next time I will make a fatty cake with butter and sugar and real, delicious frosting! I think I will make one tomorrow for my sweet sister and her roommate, Keshnee as a house warming gift! They lived in the dorms here in Davis for the past year, but today they are moving into a big girl apartment. I think they need a pretty cake to eat and talk boys and watch Sex and the City:) Ah, sometimes I miss having a girl roommate... Oh wait, I still do!! hahaha (jk lover, you're a macho man).
