Angel food cake is much lighter than the traditional types. I have only made it from the box, but I'm sure you could find some recipes online if you want to do one from scratch. You could serve it with strawberries and a little whipped cream, or make some pudding with FF milk and layer that between slices of the cake.

You could also make the diet soda cake. You add 1 can of diet soda to 1 box of cake mix. For the frosting I use 1 box of sugar free pudding and add 1 cup of skim milk then fold in a small container of fat free or light cool whip.:flowerforyou:

I actually told my husband this morning that I want to develop a low fat/ high protein ice cream recipe -- because there are some things I just don't want to give up! I will post it when I get it figured out.

Would recommend you make something in individual portions (like cupcakes or something made in individual pots like panna cotta)...it's easier then to control calories and not indulge in extra slices!
