Cake + Weight Watchers?? Disaster??
During my sorting/cleaning today I came across one of my old food journals from my weight watchers meetings last fall. I had 2 recipes written down and both were about making a low point cake that is weight watchers friendly. I have to admit I am really skeptical about allowing cake/sweets into my weight watchers program because I have no self control when it comes to things like cake. Plus how good can these cakes really be if they are weight watchers approved?? Well I’m here to tell you the recipes are pretty simple and I bet they are tasty because I have seen these recipes all over the place. I have not tried them yet but I am going to have Mike make one for my birthday next month so I can try one. I have a feeling that Cake + Weight Watchers Will NOT = disaster.
Pineapple Cake
- Angel Food cake mix
- 1 can crushed pineapple
- mix the two ingredients together and DO NOT follow the directions on the box
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
- Yields 12 servings at 3 points each
Dump Cake
- 1 can diet sprite or sprite zero
- 1 2 pound bag of frozen fruit
- 1 box low fat cake mix
- Place the fruit on the bottom, then cover with the cake mix (again do not follow directions on box), and then pour sprite all over the top.
- This recipe will cook longer than the box states so throw the box out once you dump the cake mix! Bake at 350 degrees covered in tin foil for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 40 minutes
Hope you enjoy! If you have tried either of these recipes please let me know how they turned out and which one I should make for my birthday.
Hmmmm I’m not on weight watchers, but just knowing its healthy makes it sound good to me as the recipes do look yummy!! I’ve copied and pasted them into my recipe book.
