Waiting to hear what you think about it..........

ok, I made this last night...

two things:
1. It DOES taste good - it's like brownies, just not as sticky

2. it is VERY light and fluffy - it will NOT handle transferring out of the pan you cooked it in - and frosting is a challenge - I'd suggest a glaze you can pour on it, if you want anything at all - it didnt need anything.

But for frosting I'd taken a tub of FF cool whip and added an envelope of SF chocolate pudding mix, it was very good - just too heavy to actually frost very well - the cake was very light and delicate.

I'll be making this again. Let me find the nutritional stats, it's well worth making!!!

Tip: Make sure to let the cake cook completely before you try to cut it. Because you aren't adding eggs, the cake will be tender and can tear if you cut it while it's warm. Some people have started adding 2 egg whites to the mix. It doesn't raise the points any (less than 1 point) but they report that the cake is firmer and rises better

FYI - this is still high in sugar - for diabetics you'd want to watch how much you eat - regular cake mix alone has about 18g of sugar per serving.

SF cakes have a lot of sugar alcohols in them which really mess up some people just as bad as the real thing..

But for *normal* people, this is a good alternative to the regular cakes and brownies.

if you cook it and serve it in the same pan with a frosting/topping that wont destroy it, I doubt anyone would even notice.

I baked one using the cake mix by pillsbury that has splenda in it...so the lower sugar cake mix and diet soda. Then I let it cool, put cool whip free on it and put in fridge... it tastes like brownies to me.

I will do it again with two egg whites next time as it reminded me more of brownies than cake.

Not bad for someone on a diet but doesn't want to be left out. Lots of us are doing ww points right now and we had a birthday bash.

I've never tried it, but I've run across the recipe before.

Today I made Texas sheet cake from a recipebook my mother gave me. It was compiled by Carolyn Sullivan, a former, maybe current ?, UPC missionary.
It's filled with yummy recipes.


The cake is done.
