Recipe for Diet Pig Pickin Cake
Straight from the foothills of Tennessee, a diet cake that's rich and has a cute name, too! We've skinnied-up this Tennessee tradition. Luscious cake, rich pineapple, fluffy frosting - it's a fine cake to serve at your holiday meal - a dessert without the guilt. On that healthier note, here is the recipe that's a definite crowd-pleaser, dieting or not.
Lower Calorie Recipe for Diet Pig Pickin Cake - The Healthier Ingredients 1 box of cake mix, white 4 eggs, or use egg substitute which is much lower in calorie content 1/2 cup of applesauce 1 banana, peeled & mashed 1 Tablespoon of grated orange OR lemon peel (optional) 1 large box of instant vanilla pudding (not sugar free) 1 can of mandarin oranges in unsweetened juice, undrained 1 large container of LIGHT or FREE non dairy whipped topping, thawed 1- 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple in unsweetened juice, undrained Step 1: Spray three, 9-inch cake pans with non stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Step 2: Combine cake mix, mandarin oranges & juice, 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, applesauce, and banana and mix until well incorporated. Pour into prepared pans. Bake until done and when cool enough to handle (about 5 minutes) remove from pans, placing a piece of wax paper in between the cake layers. This will keep the layers from sticking together while you work. Step 3: While you are waiting for the cake to cool, GENTLY fold together the pudding MIX (do not add milk), the whipped topping and the pineapple with the juice. Step 4: 'Frost' the cake. It should be extra fluffy looking. Serves 10 for about 240 calories each. As a note, the banana, mandarin oranges and applesauce take the place of what normally might be approximately 1/2 cup of oil - which is a savings of almost 1,000 calories!
