this is nomally 6-8 sevings but if you make it 16 seving, it is just about 100 caloies





Feel free to add mini chocolate chips, and drizzle with caramel sauce!





It's not totally necessary, but I find I get better results, when I wrap the outside of the pan with 2 layers of heavy duty foil, and put the cheesecake in a roasting pan with water around it (hot water bath). It makes the cheesecake cook more evenly without any cracking.

Low-calorie Birthday Cake Recipe





I can tell you being away from home for a couple of days was so relaxing. Now I am full of energy to tackle everything that is waiting for me in the next month!


After getting so many requests from my readers to disclose the recipe of the low-calorie birthday cake my mother baked for me I seized my chance and asked my mother for the recipe (I was staying at her place the last couple of days).


So I can now proudly present you with the low calorie cake recipe. It is actually not a usual cake recipe but a charlotte recipe, which is a European dessert. For any of you not knowing what that is check out my best friend Wikipedia.


My mother found the recipe online on a wonderful little blog called La Cerise and simply adapted the recipe that can be found there a little bit.


What you need:





about 350g of frozen raspberries





90g of sugar or even less





7-9g of gelatine sheets





1/2 TB of lemon juice





3 egg whites





250g of ricotta





ladyfingers





To start with you need a simple ring mold.


Next you need some ladyfingers. In the original charlotte recipe the ladyfingers as well as the bottom of the cake are handmade, however, my mother said that this seemed too complicated for her. Therefore she just bought ladyfingers and used them for the sides and the bottom as well.


You need to boil the sugar with some water to 118掳C. Whip the egg whites until stiff and then add the sugar syrup in a stream while keeping on whisking until it is cool.


Put the raspberries and lemon juice into a blender. As raspberries have so many small seeds you better filter them afterwards.


Soak the gelatin, press out the water and let them melt in a small pan. My mother鈥檚 tip is to add the raspberry pulp to the gelatin spoon by spoon while stirring all the time. Thereby you will ensure that there are no lumps.


Next blend the mousse with the ricotta and fold in the cream of whipped egg whites and sugar that you have produced before.


Pour the final mixture into the cake pan that is lined with the ladyfingers on the bottom and on the sides. Smooth the top carefully and put it into the refrigerator for about 8 hours. You can also easily prepare it on the day before you actually need it.


Finally you can decorate the birthday cake any way you like.


My mother chose to use a special low calorie whipped topping made from 1 12-ounce can evaporated 2% milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. You pour everything together in a mixing bowl. Beware, the milk has to be chilled! Whip the mixture with a hand mixer until you get the usual whipped-cream consistency. This usually takes about 5 minutes.


Finally the birthday cake was decorated with some raspberries, my favourite berries!


Knowing the exact ingredients of the cake I have to admit that there are for sure some cake recipes with less calories out there. But I ensure you this cake will taste delicious. My mother tried to reduce calories by eliminating the usage of whipped cream from the recipe. In the mousse she used ricotta instead of it and finally for the topping she also replaced the whipped cream and thereby cut down on calories a lot
The last post may say ';low calorie';, but with ricotta cheese and lady fingers, I'll bet it's more than 100 calories per serving.


Plain Angel Food cake is the only one I can think of, too. Hard to eat something like cake and get less than 100 calories. Which brings to mind the old saying......


';You can't have your cake and eat it, too!';
