teheheheh 69

OMG Sorry, I've got to grow up!

When using strawberries, do you add any water ? And do you use fresh or frozen and how much ? Thanx !

I am so excited about this and I will be making these tonight!!!! Whoot Whoot!!!

Thursday a coworker insisted I taste a Costco Pumpkin Streusel muffin. Thought I could taste only a crumb then bring the rest home to the hubs and pups, but NO. Compulsive, triggered, hand to mouth and before I knew it I’d wolfed down half the darned thing. When I posted it, was even more sickened to realize that the half I’d eaten in about 3 seconds was 340 calories!
:flowerforyou: Thank you Marnie for the original post, everyone for all the options, tips and alternatives and Mary for the pinacolada cake and link. I will treat that co worker to the pumpkin alternative… :bigsmile:
Summarizing my favorites (no offence but don’t do diet soda) below.
Not usually a fan of cake mixes, might try doing an angelfood cake from scratch without the fat?

Pineapple Angel Food Cupcakes
1 box Duncan Hines Angel Food cake (add water only kind)
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in its own juice.
Mix dry cake mix and pineapple together (no water). Fill cupcakes 2/3 full. Place batter in fridge between batches and it bakes better. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 min or golden brown.
Delish and only 69 calories each, fat free! I put the nutritional content in the food data base under "generic pineapple angel food cupcakes". Enjoy!

Tip: Make sure to use a One Step Angel food cake box mix. don't get the one that says add oil.
All you need is your can of fruit (including the juices) and the mix NO water needed.
I normally make mine as a cake and mix together bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes....
Adding a large can of Pumpkin is my favorite!!!! Tastes like a Pumpkin Pie and I top it with fat free or sugar free whipped topping.
So Delish!!!!

To the person who wanted a low calorie icing! Found this on hungry girl:
2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
This was for pancakes so change measures for however much you wanted!

OK, I just made these and after testing many options I found that using foil cupcake cups sprayed with a quick shot of baking spray was the best way for the cupcake not to stick to either the pan or the cupcake paper. Use foil only and not foil with a paper lining. They are quite tasty and should get me though the next three days of cramming for my finals. I still think they would be really good using peaches.

You can do this with pie filling too...instead of the pinapple mix in one can of light pie filling. Your just pour the mixture into an ungreased pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cut the cake into 24 pieces and enjoy!

I"ve made this with devil's food cake and canned mandarin slices (came up better when I mixed the batter in the food processor - it cut up the fruit and mixed in one step).....Going to try with the pineapple too now.....LOVE IT

WOW !!! Melanie you came through again. I had been craving something sweet, and thought I would give these a try.....DELICIOUS, I put a little spin on mine, I put 1/2 pkg of angel food cake mix and 1 of those individual servings of no sugar added, packed in water pineapple cups plus just the water off a second cup pulverized all that in my Magic bullet, (mini food, processor) then I made mini upside down pineapple cupcakes I took the pineapples from that second cup and distributed in a cup cake pan added 1/2 tsp of Splenda Brown sugar and made 5 little cupcakes, I knew if they were good I would eat the entire batch. Good thing I only made 5, I ate one and saved the rest for work this week. I told you....you are my HERO

Here is a link to a related recipe for pina colada cake. I have made this twice recently (once for a church potluck and once for a club I am in) and everyone loved it. Looks pretty with the toasted coconut. By the way, this recipe says an 8 oz. can of pineapple, but after reading the reviews, I used a 20 oz. can and it was great. This is a great website for recipes if you want to explore further.
