A low-fat mocha cake! No, you haven’t died and gone to heaven but you might think so. Nonfat yogurt and egg whites keep it low in cholesterol and saturated fat. Just be sure you splurge and use a really good quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
Even if you’re trying to eat healthy, sometimes you just need a good chocolate cake. This lightened-up classic will satisfy but still keep you on track.
The main problem with canned icing is that it’s full of fat, but recipes for easy icings you can make from scratch are usually loaded with butter or cream cheese. This recipe replaces the high-fat dairy with low-fat or nonfat yogurt. Give it a whirl!
The problem with cake mixes is that they always tell you to add way too much oil and eggs. But you don’t really have to follow the instructions. You can get good results with just a few small changes that really lighten up the final product.
Serve up this faux “cheesecake” topped with fresh red fruits like strawberries or cherries. Note that this recipe is completely non-dairy.
