"Cake Recipes: Lose Weight while Eating Your Favorite Cakes!"

Use alternative ingredients for you recipe

The answer to losing weight is basically supervising your calorie intake. This can most positively be done when consuming ready made foods, such as cakes, by reading the amount of calories on the information sticker on the actual product. Make sure that the calories are not exceeding your required daily intake. But if you're willful to make a cake from scratch, it really is easy to bake a cake with very little calories. You do this by substituting the high-fat/calorie ingredients for low-fat/calorie ingredients. So for example, interchange white flour for cake flour. replace usual oil with a healthier olive oil. Instead of using a whole egg, use two egg whites alternatively. Do you understand where this is going?

Using simple methods such as the ones above not only reduce the calorie content of your cakes, but don't diminish the form. The cakes will remain as soft and spongy once baked, but are much healthier. more things you could exchange are to put the cake into non-stick pans, instead of greasing up the cake pan using butter. Try using brown sugar as a substitute of white sugar.

Some advice on how to make the best, healthy chocolate cakes ever!

So now you know how to swap higher calorie ingredients with lower ones, here are some tips on making a great chocolate cake. Firstly, we would recommend using an easy chocolate cake recipe, one that you're comfortable with and that you could tackle. Make sure you have all the tools and kit you'll need to hand before starting.

When preparing the cake mix, make sure that you use a low fat butter, or a margarine for matchless healthy mixes. And again use egg whites rather than whole eggs to keep the calories right down. When putting chocolate into the mixture, we'd suggest using a dark chocolate. The reason being that darker chocolate (the slightly unsweetened tasting ones) have a higher cocoa content, meaning they contain less fat. If the mixture is not flavorful enough, you could try using some cocoa powder to sweeten it up.

When preparing the pan for the cake mixture, make sure you use a non-stick pan. Also try powdering a little flour on the pan, this will further prevent the cake from sticking to the pan once it comes out of the oven. This is even more important when using a shaped pan. Ensure that you get into all the little gaps and hollows of the pan with the flour, to you could find some parts of your cake come away with the pan itself. If you don't want to use flour, another healthy options to use a vegetable non-stick spray. They're getatable from most supermarkets.

If you decide to use a layered cake you could try putting nominal fat jello/jelly between the layers. An even better option would be to put sliced fruit, such as strawberries in between the layers.

Not only will your friend and family find such a cake delicious, you are safe in the knowledge that it is a healthier option.

Healthy Birthday cakes

Birthday cakes can be healthy too. By now, hopefully you've understood the alternative ingredient method. This can also be used for Birthday Cakes or alternative special occasions. The cakes become healthy when making the mixture. So when mixing ingredients for a birthday cake, use some imagination and create a sugared cake mixture, using natural ingredients. Try this one for example. When preparing the mixture, instead of putting a lot of sugar in, replace some of the sugar with a tasty fruit? Examples could be using a banana for instance. Using two bananas would replace quite a bit of sugar, and is all naturally nominal in calories. Try putting some raisins into the mixture. They're naturally appetizing and young children fancy finding them in their cakes. Another option is to use applesauce in the mixture alternately of oil. Obviously when putting these ingredients into cakes, do the odd 'dip test' to make sure the essence and makeup etc are as required.

A Top-Rated Recipe

Here's a great recipe for a healthy cake, which should only take you essentially 30 to 40 minutes to bake.

All you need is an angel cake ready mix and a can of crushed pineapple (and also a bowl, mixer, pan and oven etc)

Instead of using water to mix the angel cake mixer with, empty the crushed pineapple can into the bowl and using your mixer, mix until a smooth consistency comes about

Pour into a cake pan, preferably a 13 x 9 pan.

Bake in the central tray of your oven for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the sides of the cake come away from the pan edge

Cut cake into smaller portions, this can serve almost 12 people, with small portions

Enjoy! This cake only has not far from 0.2 grams of fat, almost 145 calories and 34.6g of carbs per serving!

You can decorate the cake if you wish, using icing or frosting, but be mindful of what form you use, as the whole purpose of this cake is to eat healthier.

Losing weight is not only done by eating healthier foods but healthy foods are a staple of a weight loss regime that should include exercise too.

Because I Said So (Widescreen Edition) List Price: $12.98 Sale Price: $9.99 You save: $2.99 (23%)   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton stars with Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham and Piper Perabo in this heartwarming comedy about mothers, daughters and cutting the apron strings. When it comes to her three free-spirited daughters, Daphne (Keaton) is just your normal overprotective, overbearing, over-the-top mother. Worried that her youngest daughter, Millie (Moore), will end up alone, Daphne meddles in her daughter's love life until she ends up doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons...and all in the name of motherly love. In Because I Said So, Diane Keaton outdoes any pushy parent trying to marry off their children. On the eve of her 60th birthday, Daphne (Keaton) decides that she will find a suitable suitor for her youngest daughter Milly (Mandy Moore). Never mind that Moore was barely into her 20's when she shot the film and easily could pass as a high-school senior. The film asks us to believe that an otherwise smart, loving mother would push marriage on a young woman who obviously wasn't ready for that kind of commitment. The romantic comedy has a cute premise that grows old fast: In order to root for Daphne's almost manic desire to see Milly walk down the aisle, the audience has to believe she's undergoing some kind of trauma, or at least dying of an incurable disease. But because she is such an overbearing busybody whose best interests for her daughter have little to do with reality, viewers just see an obnoxious, meddling mother trying to micromanage her child's life. That we don't want to strangle Daphne is a credit to Keaton's acting skills, which manage to shine through, even in the most over-the-top scenes. Lauren Graham and the always adorable Piper Perabo play Milly's older, married sisters. Had the film revolved around the three sisters' lives--sans mom--Because I Said So would have been a much more interesting picture. --Jae-Ha Kim Features KEATON/GRAHAM
