Ingredients:
1/2
(18-1/4-ounce) package light yellow cake mix

1/8
teaspoon baking soda

2/3
cup water

2
egg whites

1-1/2
teaspoons vanilla, divided

1
package (4-serving size) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix

1-1/3
cups fat-free (skim) milk

Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Lightly coat with flour. Set aside.
