I need to bake a birthday cake for tomorrow. Anyone have a tasty lower calorie recipe for a birthday cake? Carrot is my partner's favorite but that is around 320 a slice for the average recipe.

Angel food cake is lower in calories than most. You can use it to make an extra light strawberry short cake with sliced strawberries (NOT in syrup) and cool whip.
Another way to keep the calories low is to just frost the top and between layers. Skip the sides. With cream cheese frostings on a darker cake, this actually looks pretty good.
Or you could just serve smaller slices of something you know everyone will love.0 -
You can cut a lot of fat and calories by just substituting unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 of the oil and using egg whites instead of the whole egg in your favorite recipe. Also leave off the frosting0

Great suggestions! Thank you. Strawberry shortcake would be really easy and I could get a low fat, lower calorie whipped cream to use.0
