Yummy Cake!!!!


Hey everyone-thought I would finally share a recipe with you!! Unfortunately, I am lame, and didn't take any pictures of the cake-so here is a picture of a slice of it! Sorry!

1 box cake mix (I used spice cake)

3 egg whites

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1 cup applesauce

1 large pkg sugar free vanilla pudding

1 cup chopped nuts (I used almonds)

1 cup chocolate chips (use your favorite kind, I prefer semi-sweet, dark or even carob chips)

Mix together everything but the nuts and chips in a mixer on medium speed until well blended. Stir in the nuts and chips. Pour into a greased bundt or fluted pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Let cool slightly and frost. Top with sliced fruit. I used peaches.

Frosting:

1/2 cube butter

8 oz reduced fat or fat-free cream cheese

1-2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

milk

Cream butter and cream cheese together in mixer. Slowly add sugar to desired consistency. (The more you add, the thicker the frosting will be). Add vanilla and milk to thin out if desired. Be careful with the milk-you only need a very little!! Make sure the cream cheese is at least room temperature, or it may be lumpy.

I altered this recipe from one a friend used with chocolate cake, oil, chocolate pudding and sour cream. She topped hers with strawberries. Have fun and be creative!!!
