Lower Fat,
Lower Calorie Lemon Pound Cake Recipe
Wake up the cold bones of Old Man Winter
with this sweet dessert that is lower
in fat and calories than traditional pound cake .
One of the
high calorie ingredients in pound cake is butter so
we've pulled a secret ingredient out of the Diet Bites
kitchen artillery to combat high calories and fat for
an equally delightful, rich as ever lemon pound cake.
And now
for the tasty diet friendly recipe that takes about
5 minutes to toss together in a bowl and about 30 minutes
to bake:
Preheat
oven to 350° and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking
spray.
-
In a large mixing
bowl, heat 1/2 cup of butter or margarine (60
calories per Tablespoon) in microwave until
'just' melted and then add the following ingredients:
-
4 large eggs slightly beaten (you can reduce
the calories and fat further still by using
egg substitute)
1 cup of Splenda*
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon of lemon extract OR juice from 2 large lemons
Lemon zest (optional)
-
- OUR SECRET INGREDIENT
contains
1/2 the calories of margarine. Add:
1/2 cup of sour cream (light sour cream will
save even more fat and calories)
-
- Next, add the
following ingredients to the mixing bowl:
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 cups of sifted flour
-
- Transfer
batter to loaf pan. Cook
about 30 minutes - or until top is golden
brown. Allow to sit for about ten minutes
(to cool),
then carefully remove from loaf pan. Cake
should come out very easily.
-
- Make
10 very generous servings for about 200 calories
each. Top with fresh sliced strawberries
and a dash of light whipped topping if desired.
FOODNOTES™:
For those who do not like using sugar substitute, use
3/4 cup of real sugar but take note that this will add
600 calories to the pound cake as sugar is ultra high in calories.
Another suggestion for those limiting sugar substitute
is to use half real sugar and half sugar substitute.
