This cake is so buttery-rich tasting you won't believe it's "lite"! It's a wonderful dessert for any special occasion, and is adapted from Weight Watchers magazine to become egg free, higher in fibre and lower in sugar.

Ingredients
  • 5 oz. lite silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups cake flour
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour

Thank You for sharing this one!! I really need to bake this. Our youth at our church are having a bake sale on the 16th and we tend to forget about those who can't eat all the sugar & fat.
Great post!
