Low Fat Spice Cake Recipes

MOIST LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar with the margarine until smooth. Beat in the buttermilk.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and powder, and spices. Add the flour mixture and chopped apples/applesauce to the sugar-buttermilk mixture. Wisk vigorously or blend in an electric mixture for several minutes, or until well blended.
• Coat the inside of a bundt cake pan with butter or margarine, and then cover with a thin layer of flour to prevent sticking. To the bottom and sides of the pan, add the crushed pecans. If desired, additional pecans may be used on the sides of the pan or added to the cake batter.
• Pour the batter into the greased/floured pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Remove the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, invert onto a serving dish.
• To make the icing: Using a fork, combine the powdered sugar and salt in a small bowl with the vanilla. Gradually add the milk while stirring, until it reaches the desired consistency. Drizzle over the top and sides of the cake.

100% HEALTHY & LUCIOUS SPICE CAKE (LOW CALORIE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 celsius / 395 fahrenheit.
• Rinse the corn in cold water 2-3 times and drain.
• Puree corn, apple juice and 1 egg until smooth. The puree will smell strongly of corn, but don't worry. The cake won't taste like this.
• In a blender, whisk egg whites until very stiff. Meanwhile, transfer the corn to a bowl and add oats.
• Add baking powder, vanilla and spices to the corn/oat mixture and stir very well. The dough will have a thick oatmeal-like texture. If you want, you can add 1 tsp of peanut butter for extra flavour.
• Cut the banana into coins and each coin into approximately 6 pieces. Chop the walnuts.
• Add banana and walnuts to the corn/oat mixture.
• Use a big flat spoon and scoop an amount equal of 4 tablespoons of the very stiff egg whites into the corn/oat mixture and stir until even.
• Add the corn/oat mixture to the remaining egg whites, but DON'T STIR UNTIL EVEN.
• Just mix lightly. There will be puffs of egg white here and there.
• Add baking sheets to a 10x20 square baking tray or any other equally sized heat resistant tray you may have in handy.
• Pour the thick mixture into the tray and bake for 15 minutes.
• Done! Your fluffy, spicy, moist, sweet, delicious and incredibly healthy cake is ready!
