in my opinion it is better to have fat than sugar. sugar will affect your insulin levels and cause you to feel sluggish. sure you won't see the calories for counting and all but it's the affect that sugar has on your body that you need to wory about. fat on the other hand helps to fuel you and also helps give your hair and skin that extra oomph (if you are eating good fats like omega 3s and polyunsaturated types) it really takes a chemist or a biophysionucleologist to be able to pull off a good diet. that stuff isn't for me. I try to eat good foods that God put on the earth for us to enjoy.

Chocolate apple snack cake - cake
My favorite is just regular angel food cake..the kind in the box..but here is another one also.. Low Fat Low Sugar Chocolate Apple Snack Cake Really a good recipe, fast, easy, cheap and everyone will love it! 9 servings 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour 3/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup cocoa 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1/4 cup applesauce 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 apple, chopped and peeled (1 cup) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Oven to 350°. Spray a square pan with nonstick spray, I used a glass pan. Combine first 5 ingredients in bowl. In another bowl, combine water, oil, lemon juice, vanilla. Add to dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Toss apples with sugar and cinnamon, fold into batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until done.

Dairy-free Apple-cinnamon Pancakes We made these this morning and they were *so* good! INGREDIENTS: 1/4 cup coconut oil**, melted 1 egg 1 cup milk substitute (rice, soy, or almond milk) 1 cup shredded tart apple - you can finely chop it in a food processor to save time 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1-2 tablespoon(s) white sugar DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, egg, milk and apple. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar. Stir flour mixture into apple mixture, just until combined. Batter will be thick. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot. ** Coconut oil is solid white but becomes liquid at 76 degrees (so if you rub your fingers on it it will melt). You can buy it in jars at the grocery store in the health food section, popcorn section, and/or baking oils section (placement depends on grocery store). It is a great butter substitute!

this is not really a cake recipe but it helps me when i want a chocolate fix. you take 1 box of devil's food cake mix and 1 can of pumpkin pie filling. (don't twinge your nose just yet) combine the 2 and press into a brownie pan (8x11 or 9x13) and bake at 350° for 30 min or so. they are great! not too sweet and natural as far as the sugar and stuff. the only sugar that would be added is in the cake mix. if it is too bitter or chocolaty add some semi sweet chocolate chips.

It looks good and pretty easy but are you sure there is not too much sugar or fat in the cake mix or in the filling ? Thank you for your input anyway

HOT MILK SPONGE CAKE (for diabetics) Ingredients: 1 stick of margarine 1 cup low fat or 2% milk 2 cups flour (any kind) 2 cups SPLENDA or EQUAL Sugar 3 eggs 1 1/2 teas baking powder 1 1/2 teas vanilla In microwave or saucepan on stove, heat milk and margarine until melted, DO NOT SCALD. Set aside. In large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients well and slowly add the warm milk mixture while beating (electric hand mixer preferred on medium speed) until most of the lumps are gone. There may be some lumps leftover. Bake in well-greased loaf, bundy=t, tube or cake pans for about one hour at 350 F degrees. Do NOT open oven to check on cake before 45 minutes have passed to avoid center drop. Depending on where you live, you may need additional baking time. Cool or if eating warm, wait about 20 minutes before cutting into. You can frost, decorate, add fruit toppings or ice cream, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on it or eat plain. I like it plain and warm with a glass of milk!

thank you for your recipe but unfortunately I am against using any artificial sweetener as their safeness hasn't been proved yet, plus I am even more cautious right now since i am nursing. But thank you so much though for answering my post
