Healthy birthday cake?

[ 11 ] 01/11/2009 |

Happy  30th Birthday Melissa!!!!

In honor of Melissa’s 30th birthday today, we have to find the perfect “healthy” birthday cake. What girl doesn’t love chocolate, right? Exactly. Here is a low-fat, vegan chocolate (birthday) cake!

The secret ingredient? Applesauce. This recipe uses applesauce instead of eggs or oil, making it nearly fat-free and guilt-free! Though its a little bit heavier than other cakes, the generous amount of cocoa makes this vegan cake absolutely heavenly.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 cups sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp baking soda

1/3 cup cocoa

1 1/2 cup applesauce

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan. Note: You can use other cake pans, but because this cake is a bit heavy, layered cake pans are not recommended.

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add applesauce and mix well until batter is smooth.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until done. You can always tell that a cake is finished baking by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, that is, not covered in batter, then your cakes is done baking.

    I have another healthy birthday cake! It’s a WW favorite (from my area, at least).

    All you do is mix one box of chocolate cake mix and one 12 oz can of Coke (it HAS to be regular…NOT diet). You can also do yellow cake with sprite. Mix it, divide into 25 cupcakes (they are not too small, a good size) and bake it using the directions on the back of the cake box. They come out to be 1 point a cupcake! :) If you make an actually cake, I would say probably like 3-4 points a slice, but compared to 12 points a slice! I also top them with confectionery sugar. They are gooey and delicious! Enjoy :)

    For the health conscious person, you can bake a 50th birthday cake low or no fat. A carrot cake is a lovely healthy choice. The ingredients can be substituted for the decorations that are fat and no sugar.
