My birthday is this saterday. But I am having my party next weekend. I want to have cake. But I don't know a recipe? If you know a recipe can you tell me how to make it and how many points it is. Thanks!Weightwatchers, does anybody know a good recipe for a b-day cake?
I don't know if you would want to use this as your birthday cake, but I wanted to share.
WW meeting leaders will tell you to make a diet coke cake for your sweet tooth cravings. Omit oil and eggs from the box mix directions, and substitute a can of diet coke for your liquid ingredients. 2 pts per slice, I believe, and it is actually very good.
But for your birthday, maybe you should do the angelfood with some strawberries and fat free whipped topping.
Just figured I'd pass along the diet coke cake idea anyway.
Happy Birthday!Weightwatchers, does anybody know a good recipe for a b-day cake?
Frozen Strawberry Layer Cake
Makes 12 servings POINTSåº value per serving: 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 12-oz store-bought, fat-free angel food cake, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 quart store-bought, fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt
Instructions
To make strawberry sauce, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan, stirring over medium heat until the sugar melts and the liquid comes to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash about half the berries against the side of the pan. Cool to room temperature and use immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days.
Spoon the frozen yogurt into a large bowl and mash it with the back of a wooden spoon until soft and spreadable.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan with one third of the cake slices, cutting any slices to fit the shape of the pan. Top with half the frozen yogurt, spreading it to the sides. Spread 2/3 cup strawberry sauce over the frozen yogurt, then top with half the remaining cake slices, again cutting any to fit. Spread the remainder of the frozen yogurt over the cake, top with 2/3 cup strawberry sauce, and finally seal the top with the remaining cake slices. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 6 hours or up to 3 days. Let the cake stand at room temperature 10 minutes before unmolding and serving.
You best best is an Angel's food cake. It's mainly egg-whites and if you make it with Splenda (instead of sugar) the caloric value will be negligible. Try topping it with sliced strawberries and a light sprinkling of confectioner's suger and thin curls of lemon zest. Enjoy and happy birthday!
