My family makes this cake every once in a while, usually around the holidays! But I figured that I would share it with you because, number one, its low calorie and two, its delicious. So here it is!
Jello Punctured Angel Food Cake
Ingredients:
One Box of Angel food cake (or favorite kind of cake, I chose angel because it is lower in calorie.)
One box of Sugar Free Jello (I like strawberry) One Tub of light Whip Cream
One Small Carton of Strawberries
2 Tsp. of sugar
Directions:
Cook Angel Food Cake as directed on back of box. You can also make them in muffin tins if you so desire.
Once Cake has cooled completely, stab it all over with a fork, and by stab all over, I mean ALL OVER. Mix the Jello packet with 2 1/2 cups water instead of 4 like the box calls for. While it is still in liquid form pour over the angel food cake letting the liquid jello soak down through the cake. You wont use all of the jello but use quite a bit of it. Immediately put cake into the fridge for 2-3 hours.
While it is cooling wash and slice strawberries. In a blender, blend about 5 strawberries until they are the consistancy of a smoothie. Pour blended strawberries into a mixing bowl, add sugar to the blended strawberries and mix. Add the rest of the sliced strawberries to the blended ones and stir until mixed. Sit in fridge.

But hey if you need a fix this is a good way to go!
You could use agave in place of the sugar to decrease the amount of sugar!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good... I could really use a piece right now!
ReplyDeleteTaryn, I have heard about agave.. I heard its bitter... and unfortunately the majority of the 23 grams of sugar are already in the cake mix... :( maybe I will have to give the agave a try.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good. I will have to try it!! Thanks for your post!
