This fluffy cake is full of citrus flavor but not much fat or cholesterol. Preparation starts with a boxed mix for convenience and ends with a refreshing two-ingredient lemon glaze. Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size) |
1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water |
4 egg whites |
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
4 drops yellow food coloring, optional |
lemon glaze: |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, gelatin, water, egg whites, applesauce, oil, lemon extract and food coloring if desired; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
2. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle about a third of glaze over cake; carefully spread evenly. Repeat with remaining glaze. Cool completely. Yield: 15 servings.
