Slice into a lighter pound cake recipe that has all the flavor of a traditional one. Low-fat sour cream brings moistness and taste without so many calories. Ingredients:
3 cups sugar |
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 1/3 cups egg substitute |
1 1/2 cups low-fat sour cream |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
4 1/2 cups sifted cake flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
cooking spray |
fresh blackberries (optional) |
mint sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 5 minutes). Gradually add egg substitute, beating well.
3. Combine sour cream and baking soda. Stir well, and set aside. Lightly spoon cake flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and salt. Add flour mixture and sour cream mixture alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla.
4. Pour batter into a 10-inch tube pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Garnish with blackberries and mint, if desired.
5. Note: Eight egg whites can be used in place of egg substitute. Add one at a time to sugar mixture.
