Recipe time



Food photographer I am not. The pictures don't quite do it justice, but this is a pineapple orange cake that tastes mostly like pineapple upside down cake. It's from a recipe booklet I got while standing in line at the checkout. Its super moist and as far as deserts go, not that bad for you.... I should mention that its delicious (or so said everyone at work) and super easy to make.

1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, undrained
4 egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce (instead of oil)
TOPPING:
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 pkg (1 oz) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (8 oz) reduced-fat whipped topping

  • Beat the cake mix, oranges, egg whites and applesauce on low speed for 2 minutes. Pour into a 13x9 bakind dish coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
  • In a bowl, combine the pineapple and pudding mix. Fold in whipped topping just until blended. Spread over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
