Wouldn’t you just love to sink your teeth into a wedge of carrot cake with cream cheese icing or Whipped German chocolate cake, or maybe caramel apple cake -  what if it could be a healthier?  Less guilt?  Try these tips to give your cake recipes a healthy makeover.

First: replace 1/2 of the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour, brings more dietary fiber into the cake without changing the flavor much. No one knows but you.

Second: Replace all but 1/3 c. of the oil or butter called for in the recipe using canned pumpkin or applesauce, for a moist flavorful cake with less fat.  

Example recipe calls for  1 – 1/3 c. oil, use 1/3 c. oil, and 1 c. of applesauce or pumpkin.   In many of my recipes I use grated apple or zucchini also.   Which of these flavors goes best with the cake I am making.
