Are you avoiding your favorite cake just to shed few kilos? If yes, then here’s a good news for you! Yes, you read it right. Now, you can cut down calorie count while preparing cakes, by just following these steps:
1. Less Sugar, Lesser Calories –
Remember the mantra- No pain, no gain? By just cutting down the amount of sugar you used to add earlier, you can save yourself from having unnecessary calories. Also, you can substitute sugar with no-calories sweetener.
2. Say No To Oil & Butter –
Did you know each gram of fat contains 9 calories and there are about 13 grams in a tablespoon of oil or butter? So, replace oil/butter with some other moist ingredient, like light cream cheese, banana, orange juice or fat-free sour cream and your half of the job is done!
3. Whole-Wheat Flour, The Key –
You can substitute half of the white flour with whole-wheat flour that is healthy because of its good amount of phytochemicals, fiber, selenium and magnesium.
4. Say Bye To High-Calorie Extras
Cut down half the amount of recipe embellishments (chocolate chips, butter, etc.) and add-ins or don’t use them at all. The same way, you can forget frosting the sides in double-layered cakes and go ahead with top and middle frosting or replace it by sprinkling powdered sugar (don’t overdo it!). Believe me, it’ll do wonders.
5. Non-stick Pans, The Trick
Use of good quality non-stick dishes or pans means you’ll need less of oil/butter in crust or batter to protect your cake from sticking. The cake will be baked nicely brown and won’t stick.
So, what’s the wait for? Try this low calorie-count cake recipe now and impress others with your cooking skills. Good Luck!
