Hi everyone,

I am looking to bake a cake/ biscuits/ a loaf for a party. Does anyone have any foolproof low calorie recipes that they have tried? Any dessert recipes welcome.



Thanks!!

    As long as you don't object to refined sugar, meringues are probably your lowest calorie bake that still looks impressive when you bring it to parties.

    I love this piña colada cake. I halved the recipe for my sake, but, if you want to bring it to a party, double it back to its original, bake it in a 9x13 for 45-50 min or until set. Frost with Tru whip or cool whip and if you feel like it, with shredded coconut. Add in calories for coconut if you do this.

    Cooking light also has a good recipe for chocolate layer cake. They actually have a lot of great dessert recipes.

    You can substitute the egg and oil in most cake mixes with just 1 can of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix) and they come out pretty tasty. Of course, that's if you like cake mixes vs. recipes.

    If you substitute the eggs with 2 egg whites to every one egg, and the oil with applesauce it comes out much lighter than the pumpkin. It's especially good for lighter color cakes (yellow, white, etc), any cakes other than chocolate or spice cake. When I do use the pumpkin, I also use 1/2 cup of water and a couple egg whites.
