As you are aware of by now, I am not a fat free baker. I have always thought that if dessert didn’t have butter and sugar in it, it’s not going to be real good. So I wanted to use one of my older fat free cookbooks and prove myself wrong. But did I?
The one thing I will definitely say about this recipe is that I thought it was very good, especially for a fat free cake. OK, OK, it is not as deliciously decadent as my traditional cakes with 1000 calories per slice, but it is very satisfying with only 211 calories per slice.
There are many ways you can change this recipe to make it your own without adding any fat. I used OJ this time, but I think I want to use apple juice next time. I used vanilla extract this time, but next I will use almond extract. Instead of using honey, you can use Agave Nectar instead of the honey and that will cut down the sugar content as well as lower the glycemic index. And therefore, lowering your calories even more.
I will definitely try this recipe again using the changes I mentioned above. This is an enjoyable “guilt free” dessert.
I didn’t have ice milk to top it with, but next time I will!!!!
Even though you may think that, as her husband, I may be biased, this cake is dee-licious -- if you want fat free to lose weight cut a very small piece -- it is quite satisfying in that "blueberry" sort of way. Enjoy!
