Basically this is a recipe for carrot cake without the carrots, so if you like carrot cake I would suggest just to add about 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot. The banana in it sounds wonderful, too! I may have to add that to our next carrot cake! Thanks for the idea, Cookiesandcorn! Report Abuse

You could use an angel food cake, or carrot cake. I think the frosting is what's going to be unhealthy. But at a wedding splurging a little really isn't that bad!
Carrot cake is a good choice, but it has oil in it. At least part of it is pineapples and carrots, though. A good cake for a low fat recipe is angelfood cake.





Below is another good recipe that we often make for low fat cake, but don't know how fancy a cake you are wanting for your wedding cake.
