Anyone have a really tasty recipe for a low cal birthday cake that is NOT chocolate & def NOT carrot cake? My birthday is coming up in 3wks & while I really want a cake I refuse to eat the pound cake/buttercream icing I usually buy (& love dearly.). However I hate carrot cake, I would sooner just eat the pound cake lol
Thanks for any recipes/options you can send my way!!

Not sure, haven't really looked for a low cal cake yet. But I know you can make angel food cake top it with strawberries & low fat cool whip. Boom like 250 calories.0

Sponge cake/ Angel Food cake with Dream Whip & Berries
Diet soda + Cake Mix is another low-cal version that can take on a lot of different flavours.
On my pinterest, I have a load of low cal recipes for meals & desserts- including a light Pound Cake!

This is what I have every year for my August birthday. Absolutely delish! I cut up fresh strawberries and take about half of them and puree them and add a little bit of sugar to get them to a syrup consistency. Add the strawberry syrup with your sliced strawberries. mmmmmgood0 -

Cut a watermelon into a square, ice with whipped cream, decorate with sliced fruit. That's what we did for my boyfriend's bday yesterday (it was his choice, I should state). It was really good and really filling0

Just eat real birthday cake. It only happens once a year! Or make it with cauliflower, whatever.
DIET birthday cake, smh. :grumble:0 -
OR you could buy one single cupcake for yourself of your favorite kind of cake. That's what I did last year. That way you can have what you really want and you don't have to worry about over doing it.
But if you want a full cake, this rasberry lemonade cake sounds pretty good:

I tried a diet soda and cake mix last weekend and was really surprised with the results. The cake was good, really moist, and it turned out at 155 calories a slice. I made a frosting with PB2 and sweetener, which added about 10 calories per slice.0

Its your birthday!!! Splurge for a day!! But if you just can't, then bake an angel food cake. For frosting mix together a tub of FF cool whip, SF instant vanilla pudding and a can of chunk pineapple (slightly drained). Its delicious!0

I say its your brithday, splurge! But if you must be good, try an angel food cake with fruit. Or do a box cake mix with diet soda. One I like is strawberry cake with Diet 7-up.0
