“Cake Recipes: Lose Weight while Eating Your Favorite Cakes!”

Use alternative ingredients for you recipe
The guide to losing weight is basically supervising your calorie intake. This can most almost certainly be done when consuming ready made foods, such as cakes, by reading the amount of calories on the information sticker on the actual product. Confirm that the calories are not greater than your required daily intake. But if you’re willing to make a cake from scratch, it really is easy to bake a cake with very little calories. You do this by substituting the high-fat/calorie ingredients for low-fat/calorie ingredients. So for example, replace white flour for cake flour. interchange regular oil with a healthier olive oil. Instead of using a whole egg, use two egg whites instead. Do you get the drift where this is going?

Using simple methods such as the ones above not only reduce the calorie content of your cakes, but don’t diminish the taste. The cakes will remain as soft and spongy once baked, but are much healthier. more things you could swap are to put the cake into non-stick pans, instead of greasing up the cake pan using butter. Try using brown sugar alternatively of white sugar.

Some advice on how to make the best, healthy chocolate cakes ever!
So now you know how to replace higher calorie ingredients with lower ones, here are some tips on making a great chocolate cake. Firstly, we would advise using an easy chocolate cake recipe, one that you’re happy with and that you could tackle. Make sure you have all the tools and kit you’ll need to hand before starting.

When preparing the cake mix, make sure that you use a low fat butter, or a margarine for unsurpassed healthy mixes. And again use egg whites rather than whole eggs to keep the calories right down. When putting chocolate into the mixture, we’d suggest using a dark chocolate. The reason being that darker chocolate (the slightly hostile tasting ones) have a higher cocoa content, meaning they contain less fat. If the mixture is not sharp enough, you could try using some cocoa powder to sweeten it up.

When preparing the pan for the cake mixture, make sure you use a non-stick pan. Also try powdering a little flour on the pan, this will further prevent the cake from sticking to the pan once it comes out of the oven. This is even more important when using a shaped pan. Ensure that you get into all the little gaps and hollows of the pan with the flour, to you could find some parts of your cake come away with the pan itself. If you don’t want to use flour, another healthy options to use a vegetable non-stick spray. They’re attainable from most supermarkets.

If you decide to use a layered cake you could try putting low-grade fat jello/jelly between the layers. An even better option would be to put sliced fruit, such as strawberries in between the layers.

Not only will your friend and family find such a cake appetizing, you are safe in the knowledge that it is a healthier option.

Healthy Birthday cakes
Birthday cakes can be healthy too. By now, hopefully you’ve understood the alternative ingredient method. This can also be used for Birthday Cakes or related special occasions. The cakes become healthy when making the mixture. So when mixing ingredients for a birthday cake, use some imagination and create a sweet cake mixture, using natural ingredients. Try this one for example. When preparing the mixture, instead of putting a lot of sugar in, replace some of the sugar with a flavorsome fruit? Examples could be using a banana for instance. Using two bananas would replace quite a bit of sugar, and is all naturally reduced in calories. Try putting some raisins into the mixture. They’re naturally flavorful and young children savor finding them in their cakes. Another option is to use applesauce in the mixture as a substitute of oil. Obviously when putting these ingredients into cakes, do the odd ‘dip test’ to make sure the essence and constitution etc are as required.
