Low Calorie Cake

This is one of my favorite family recipes! You will love this recipe, because it is so versatile. If you want a chocolate cake, vanilla cake, or strawberry cake you can make all of those with this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cake mix any flavor( I prefer vanilla.)
1 ½ cups of low fat applesauce
1 can of any flavor of diet soda (I prefer diet cherry sprite)
1 container of low fat icing

Directions:

Follow the directions on the back of the cake mix EXCEPT when asked to add eggs and oil DON'T! Instead you will be substituting in the applesauce and diet soda. If the cake mix calls for milk, be sure and use fat free or skim milk.

When applying the icing make sure to only use one or two servings of icing.
