Has it already been a week since the last Just for Fun Friday for Homeschool Moms?  Here are some of Cristina’s  Homeschool Comics.

Yummy Low Calorie Cake

This recipe comes  from my Weight Watchers Class.  Now before you get all turned off and think it must be awful,  give this cake a chance. For one thing it is really super easy. But it is also tasty!  I have made two variations of it and my grown boys even like it.  You can make it either a chocolate cake or a yellow or lemon cake.  You can also invent your own after you get the hang of it. The thing that makes it lower calorie is losing the eggs and the oil. On Weight Watchers we count  1/12 of this dessert as 3 points.  I get 19 points to use a day if that helps you figure how deadly the dessert really is, (not very!)

Ingredients:

1 Cake mix, chocolate or yellow.

1 12 oz. can of diet soda  (you can use cola, Dr. Pepper or root beer with chocolate cake or Sprite, Mountain Dew etc. with the yellow cake.)

spray butter

Beat the cake mix with the soda. Spray a 9 x 14 pan with Pam or other pan coating spray.  Pour the cake mix into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Garnish with Fat Free cool whip

Variation: Take two one pound sacks of frozen fruit and dump into the 9 x 14 pan that has been sprayed with Pam.  Sprinkle fruit with Splenda.

Dump cake mix on top of this

Pour one 12 oz can of diet pop on top of this.

Spray top with spray butter

Cover with foil and cook for 15 min. at 350.  Take foil off and cook for another hour and a half or so. This cobbler is heavenly!  I made it like a black forest cake on the Fourth of July with cherries on the bottom, a chocolate cake mix and a diet root beer.  My kids were fighting over the last piece!
