What is a good recipe for a nice healthy wedding cake?
Believe me, no one in my fiance's family needs real cake. I am a very healthy eater and my fiance is becoming one. I want a good recipe that is low in fat and healthy.
Answers:
WEDDING CAKE
1 1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. chopped bananas, do not smash
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, in its own juice
3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. chopped nuts
3 eggs
Mix and sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir in nuts. Beat eggs slightly; combine with oil, vanilla, bananas, and undrained pineapple. Add to dry ingredients; mix thoroughly, but DO NOT BEAT. Spoon into well oiled 10 inch tube pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand 10-15 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/2 c. butter
1 lb. box powdered sugar
Cream together and enjoy.
... and they lived happily ever after.
Carrot cake is a good choice, but it has oil in it. At least part of it is pineapples and carrots, though. A good cake for a low fat recipe is angelfood cake.
Below is another good recipe that we often make for low fat cake, but don't know how fancy a cake you are wanting for your wedding cake.
You could use an angel food cake, or carrot cake. I think the frosting is what's going to be unhealthy. But at a wedding splurging a little really isn't that bad!
