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.
