So my birthday is a few weeks! :drinker: Whenever its a persons birthday in my family, we get an icecream cake. I use to have 2/3 slices everytime we did :blushing: i was hopeing to do a more "healthy" cake this year. Does anyone have any alternitives to a birthday cake? I really want to try something new. I heard about the diet soda cake but that doesnt have any frosting and seems a bit plain for a bday. help the birthday girl out?:wink:

    I'm looking for recipes too...my birthday is in 14 days!

    My guy usually bakes me a cake using the Betty Crocker mixes, but uses almond milk and free run eggs...that's about as "healthy" as it gets as of now

    The recipe below might help if you want to think about an ice cream cake....

    Kraft - Cool Whip Free - Fat Free Whipped Topping, 1 container (50 tbsp (9g) ea.) 375 75 0 0
    Ice Cream Sandwich - Vanilla - Great Value, 16 sandwich 2,560 400 80 32

    Layer 1/2 or the ice cream sandwiches in a 9X13 pan.
    Spread 1/2 of the topping on the sandwiches.
    Top with cool whip
    REPEAT layers.
    Freeze for a couple hours. Before serving, it is a bit easier to cut if you let it set out a few minutes.

    Very rich and yummy!

    1 box Dark Chocolate cake mix
    1 can pureed pumpkin (not pumkin pie mix)
    1/4 cup water

    Mix. dump into a Pam'd 13x9. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

    Chocolate fudgy awesomeness. I add 1/8 cup of black cocoa and 2 tsp vanilla to mine, but that is entirely optional

    Have you ever made diet soda cake?

    1 boxed cake
    1 12 oz can of diet soda

    then you can top it with what ever fruit, fat free whipped topping or whatever you can think of

    Ive made red velvet with diet dr pepper, and chocolate with diet pepsi, I wanna try white cake with diet cream soda in the near future.

    it one of the easiest ways to eliminate milk,oil,butter,eggs all those things loaded with calories and it still taste great

    What about fruit pizza? I love the stuff. One piece is about 170 calories and 9 grms fat. Here's a link for a great recipe.
