3 Tips to make cake less fattening
Cake and calories
There's nothing quite like indulging in a scrumptious piece of cake...except when that slice goes straight to the hips and leaves us feeling guilty and less than healthy.
Luckily, there are ways to make even the most calorie-laden foods healthier.
Besides, what is life without cake every now and then?!
How to bake a healthier cake
Save calories by following these tips the next time you whip up a cake in the kitchen:
-
Substitute the oil. Instead of using oil in your cake recipe, replace it with drained apple sauce, fat-free yoghurt, or fat-free sour cream.
-
Watch the icing. For many cakes, this is the most fattening part. Make your own instead of buying ready-made icing, so that you can control the amount of fat and sugar used, and how much you put on top.
-
Health it up. Add mashed bananas, oats, almonds and other healthy ingredients, and cut down the amount of fat and sugar added.
