a good diet cake??

[SandrA9810]

so my manager always bakes a cake for some one leaving (either leaving the company or moving to a new store). Usually chocolate with chocolate frosting.

well there's been like 3 or four cakes made, and she won't eat any of it because she says she's on an atkins diet "cheaters style".

Well talk is she's moving to a different store. I'm getting my cake this saturday, and i thought i should bring one for her too. One that she'll eat.

So what's the best kind of healthy cake?? I don't really have the time to make one from scratch. And since i'm flying out saturday night, i don't want to have left over food. So pre mix box cake would be good. I've got oil, and i can use up a 1/2 dozen eggs without a problem.


Thanks Dis

Mix one box of devils food cake mix with a can of diet cherry Dr. Pepper. Bake according to directions on box. Top with sugar free cherry pie filling and fat free Cool Whip. Yum!

Substitute aapplesauce in place of the oil and you will cut out many fat calories.

Since Atkins is primarily protein, NO carbs, any diet cake is not going to work. I would think a flourless cheesecake made with Splenda would work. Any whipped cream also made with Splenda.

I was going to say cheesecake as it's protein based and as said previously, don't make a crust, just put it in a glass dish.

My dad loved desserts. After his heart problems mom had to change the way she cooked. So often she'd serve him a slice of store-bought angelfood cake topped with Hershey's chocolate sauce (fat free). He thought it was great!

You can do this with any cake mix.. Make sure you mix dark sodas with dark cake mix and light soda with light cake mix. It is very delicious. Do not add oil or eggs! The cake might be a little sticky because of the soda but it is so yummy!

You can get low carb cheeseckae at Cheescake Factory if you want to spend a fortune! Maybe find a version online?

As for regular diet cake, angel food cake, topped with sugar free fat free vanilla pudding, fruit & cool whip


or 1 can diet coke, 1 box cake mix, 1 egg white, bake and top with cool whip

1 box cake mix, 1 can pumpkin, mix and make into cup cakes, servive with cool whip

mmm some yummy sounding recipes.

Mixing the soda with the cake mix sounds like the coke a cola cake they serve at the cracker barrel in the winter time. So moist and so yummy.

Maybe i should try my hand at cheesecake. I thought of angel food with fresh strawberries, but i don't know how many carbs that is. She's admitted to cheating in like the past month, so if i get something at least lower on the carbs, i think she'll eat it.

And i do know she drinks diet soda. I just don't want to make her something she can't eat.

you could do an angel food cake topped with lowcal whipped cream and strawberries.

Here is a great little cake that I make when I am low carbing and need to make a dessert. Very easy to make, decorate with fruit however you wish. Here is the recipe. http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/angel-lush-51103.aspx

I've done Atkins, and it's really a no-carb diet, vs. a low carb, such as Southbeach. Basically, having no carbs in your diet causes a chemical reaction in your body, a state of ketosis, which causes you to burn fat. So, you can eat a high protein/higher fat diet, and still lose weight. However, if you eat even a small amount of carbs, it shuts off, and you will put on the weight from the protein and fat. I just checked, and a slice of angel food cake has 49 carbs I think you need to stay under 10 per day with Atkins.

The recipe I quoted doesn't have 49 carbs, just 31 a serving. Granted, it's not an Atkins friendly dessert, but if you are doing an "Atkins cheating" diet (whatever that truly means), there are many much worse choices.

When I am doing a low carb diet, I usually stick to sugar-free jello or pudding. But on rare occasion, usually a family event, this is the recipe that I turn to.

But since the OP's co-worker has already turned down 3 cakes, I would hate to have her go through the trouble, only to have it turned down. I much prefer low carb diets over no carb diets - can't tell you how many slices of pizza I peeling the cheese off of!

Easy Atkins friendly cheesecake.

Cheesecake is also a popular Atkins Diet dessert. Mix a package of cream cheese, an egg, a half-cup of Splenda, a pinch of salt and a dollop of heavy cream. Put in a pie dish and bake at 350 degrees until the top browns (about a half-hour).

Cake and diet do not go together. I would not worry about it. And frankly, when I am on a "diet" I would appreciate no cake please.

1 box angel food cake, dump in one 14-oz can crushed pineapple in its own juice, mix and bake according to directions. You can add more pineapple and fat-free coolwhip on top to make it a little fancier. This cake is da bomb!

Angel food cake. I make my own--it is mainly egg whites, with very little flour, and white sugar. You can serve with fresh berries on the side. My mum used to frost the cake with a mixture of drained crushed pineapple and Cool Whip--not sure how the c.w. qualifies as diet food!
