Silverbirch Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have been a chocoholic all of my life. In the last few months though, I've used a lot of restraint with regard to chocolate (both of my parents had diabetes), and as I've gotten older, I have found that I just don't feel so well after eating some foods, especially sweets. Anyway, today on the radio, somebody was talking about sugar-free chocolate zucchini cake which they said they made for their hubby and son. Said to google recipes for it, but to add 3 or 4 times the stated amount of zucchini. She said this would make the make much more moist, and it would have a moistness and taste like mud cake. She also said that she had put cinnamon in her recipe, but that she had just added ingredients as she went along and hadn't written them down, and the result was superb. I found this recipe, and wondered if anyone else has made it. I also love caramel and sticky date pudding and desserts made with pears. Has anyone got recipes they have tried which do not contain sugar. Here's a link to one I found but it does have Splenda sugar substitute and I would prefer recipes which do not contain splenda or other sugar substitutes (or sugar) Here's the link. Thanks. link removed Link to comment
Huntress0527 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Diet Soda Cake is one of my favorites. You can google several recipes. I use a box of devil's food cake, 1 egg white, and 10 oz of Dr. Pepper Ten. I found that this Dr. Pepper doesn't dry out the cake as much as regular diet soda. I make a low fat caramel sauce for it and top it with heath bits and Fat Free Cool Whip. It's really delicious! Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've never heard of it Huntress - or devil's food cake. I'm not sure if we have Dr. Pepper over here, but I will check it out. We must have something very similar though. What would you put in low fat caramel sauce? Link to comment
Huntress0527 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Devil's food cake is a really rich chocolate cake. It's made by Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury etc. The boxed kind. You can use any kind of cola based diet soda- think Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi. I'll have to pull the recipe I use. The caramel sauce is made from caramel and fat free sweetened condensed milk.
