Low Fat Cake Recipe - Chocolate Jam - No Less

Yummy and only 1.96g of fat per serving !

This chocolate jam low fat cake recipe has been designed to have next to no cholesterol, is low in fat and has only 113 calories per cake.

Even though this cake has a relatively low amount of calories and is low in fat, it still should be regarded as belonging to the discretionary category.

If you are one to think (a habit of mine, I'm afraid) that you can eat twice as much, if it only has half the calories, then you might want to consider making a conscious effort to make only one cake at a time for yourself, or only as much as you need.

I've included ingredient amounts to make 1 cake only below.

Having said this, when you've got diet food that tastes this good, being on a diet and having friends over for afternoon tea, won't seem so bad.

Cooking Tips:

For increased fiber substitute whole meal flour for normal white flour.

If you have deep cup cake pans, only spoon the amount above into each cup cake, in order that you can portion control each cake.

Use the canola spray oil if possible as the normal oil doesn't work quite as well.

Be careful not to over cook this low fat cake recipe, as they can go a little hard if over cooked. These cakes don't keep well, and so should be consumed immediately.
