But I can't even drive with my leg knee messed up, and even if I talked my sweet hubby into getting me one, I'm the only one in the family who eats them, so REALLY hard not to go overboard :'(:'(:'(

    I never had it but I always assumed that a cake from the bakery section would be better. Don't get me wrong,I like packaged cakes but think the fresh bakery cakes are better. If I'm going to spend my treat calories on cake ,I want it to be delicious!

    Good idea
    I had post mates deliver me allergy meds one time so I think they'd deliver cakes too!

    I have a really good recipe for chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. It's very fudgy and it comes out to about 220 cal a cupcake. They're so rich it would be hard to eat more than one. I'm happy to share if you'd like it. Also, you can mix chocolate cake mix with canned pumpkin and water to make very little low cal cake or cupcakes. You can find this online. Another way to do it is to use cake mix, applesauce in place of the oil, and two egg whites for every egg that is called for.

    I’ve never had one. These are those square-shaped ones in the freezer section, right? Are they good? :o i’ve never tried one before since I always thought that there couldn’t be any way that a frozen cake could be any good.

    Well it tastes better defrosted :p
    But yeah, they are definitely a comfort food. My Mom used to get them as special treats. The cake itself isn"t amazing, but the frosting is to die for.

    Here it is. I have it in the recipe builder. 11 cupcakes, 166 cal each. Frosting, 20 servings, 57 cal each. Simple ingredients, so it's easy to do. If you're making the standard cake/cupcake recipe, you could really halve the frosting one, it makes more than enough. You can also use light butter, the stick kind, in the frosting. I use light sour cream in the cupcakes too.

    Chocolate cupcakes

    2 cups sugar
    1-1/2 cup flour
    3/4 t baking soda
    1/2 t salt
    Mix together set aside

    4 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped up.
    Pour 1 cup boiling water over and whisk until smooth.
    Add in 8 T melted butter.
    Then add in 2 eggs. One at a time.
    Add in 1-1/2 t vanilla
    Add in 1/2 cup sour cream.

    Add flour mixture in thirds.
    Mix until well blended.

    Bake at 350 for approximately 20 min.


    Chocolate cream cheese frosting:

    8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    3 cups sifted powdered sugar (You can decrease this amount if you don't care about it being as stiff for piping)
    1/2 cup cocoa powder

    Instructions:

    Mix cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
    Mix in powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
    Mix in cocoa powder.

    I really want chocolate, and junk food, and something with Burger King (with a large diet coke), but I have no money. Good for the waist line I guess (being broke).

    Right?!

    That was my reaction after a two day binge of Keebler Fudge Strips. So good and impossible to eat moderately, but ultimatly felt bloated and gross :/

    Just get a huge slice and be done with it. No need to be stressed and cause cortisol to spike causing more issues.

    I also use light cream cheese in the frosting, forgot to say that. Let me know what you think when you do make them.

    the trick is to just cut a piece and defrost it by itself and leave the rest of the cake in the freezer to eat at a later date. i agree pepperidge farm freezer cakes are the best ever and it would take some willpower to leave it in the freezer but if you want one thaaat bad... i'd say screw it and get one, you only live once, but that's probably why i've only lost 5 pounds since november.
