Cake

  • I always look through the dessert recipes and get so depressed becuase theres all these great recipes for cake, but its in like a 9x9 inch pan, and makes like 16 servings, haha tell me honestly which one of us actually will only eat one serving? :P. I was just wondering if anyone has found a recipe for a fairly decent, or large size slice of cake, that is pretty low pts?
    Thank you all,

  • Go to the WW desserts forum. You will find some posts about diet soda cake. I haven't tried it yet, but I bought a mix a couple of days ago and will probably try it this weekend.
  • I like the soda cake. And, recently I made a 1/2 size using a brownie pan. It was still yummy and not lots of leftovers to tempt!
  • Lipbalm,

    Take 1 boxed cake mix and use only egg whites or Egg Beaters for the eggs (if it says 3 whole eggs use 5 egg whites) and use only water for the amount of water and oil. Cake is just as moist and then it is only 3-4 points (depending on the cake mix) for 1/12 of a 9x13 cake. Top with canned frosting makes it 6-7 points per 1/12 of the cake (take at 2 tablespoons of frosting and use the remaining part of the can).

    If you mix 1 package of sugarfree, fatfree pudding with 1 1/2 cups of CoolWhip Free (but then you need to store the cake in the refrig) you can have a 4-5 point piece of cake.
  • another good recipe is:

    1 one-step boxed angelfood cake mix
    20oz can of crushed pineapple in own juice

    Mix and bake (you can substitute 1 can of light cherry, apple or strawberry pie filling for the pineapple).

    or

    1 one-step boxed angelfood cake
    1 box (4 servign size) of sugarfree jello (any flavor you want)

    mix the 2 dry ingredients and add the called for water from the box and bake.

    All of these make 3 point servings (1/12 of the cake) or 1 point cupcakes (24-36 cupcakes yield).
  • Glad to see few dessert recipe ideas. I am scared to bake anything that may not get eaten right away. I am not usually a sweet eater but when you are told you can't have something (or in this case not as much as you really want) then I'm sometimes like abig kid. I want it more
  • I make the soda cake, but I make cupcakes instead. I put them in the freezer so I can't eat the entire batch, and then pull one out each day for my lunch. 1 point apiece.
  • Just posted my favorite diet soda cake under the Sweet-n-Low thread. I can't wait to try the angel food cake recipes. They sound yummy too!
  • Also check out the recipe section here and at http://p067.************/bkellysweightwatcherrecipes
  • These sound like some great ideas. We are at a bit of a disatvantage where I live because we don't always have access to alot of low cal selection unless we go to the city Just one of the non-joys of living in a small town

  • A word of warning.almost all cake mixes.the mix alone is 48 points...without anything.................I dont have one on hand or I would check.......therefore..a one point cupcake seems unreal. I am just thinking out loud.I may be wrong....................but dont think so.Unless of course someone made 48 cupcakes out of one box.

    Just check to be sure............not tryinmg to stir up trouble! i AM JUST SAYING DO NOT ACCEPT SOMEONES WORD FOR IT.CHECK OUT THE LABEL YOURSELF...OK???

    The trouble with the diet soda cakes is there is a lot of cake there to deal with! Could be dangerous.

    I like to think of cake this way:

    CAKE IS A MISTAKE & PIE IS HIGH!
