Hi all! I have not been on here in soooo long but I am now over a year out of surgery and my 32nd birthday is coming up next sunday.  My sweetie wants to make me a cake but need an easy recipe that you use splenda in.  Anyone have any good recipes? Frosting too would be fantastic LOL

Birthday's are a special thing of limited duration AND I don't dump; so, I just have a slice of real cake.

Cake frosting is made of two things: Fat and Sugar.  You could substitute the Sugar but you'd still have the Fat...so it's like, why bother? and I'm back to real cake.

Angel Food cake with a berry puree would be about the best health wise.

Pillsbury has a Reduced Sugar version of their boxed cake mix and frosting.  I haven't tried it yet but I did buy a box.  The devil's food cake has 9g sugar and 5 sugar alcohols, the chocolate fudge frosting has the same sugars .  Shows serving size for the cake at 12 and the frosting at 14.

The Phillisbury cake mentioned above is very good. Also the splenda web site has a lot of recipes.

I love the chocolate cake recipe on the back of the Hershey's cocoa powder can - I just substitute the sugar for either Diabetisweet (available at Target in the Diabetic section) or splenda.

 Also - you can google "7 minute frosting" most of the time they are made with egg whites and no fat.

Happy Birthday!

A few years ago, I did WW.  They had recipes for cake.  They are super easy, depending on what you want.

The only ingredients are cake mix and diet soda.  You can add 2 egg whites if you wish.  You could mix up the flavors.  For example, chocolate cake with diet cherry cola.  Bake according to the directions on the box.  As far as "frosting", you could use plain whipped topping or use whipped topping and add a flavor gelatin or whipped topping with pudding.  If you did chocolate cake with diet cherry cola then use whipped topping and cherry gelatin.  You could decorate with cherries.

Here are a few combinations of the cake.
- spice cake mix w/ diet orange
- Banana cake mix w/ diet root beer
- lemon cake mix w/ diet 7-up
- Chocolate cake w/ Diet coke
- Lemon cake w/ Diet ginger ale
- orange cake w/diet Mountain Dew
- cherry chip cake w/ A& W diet Cream
- Lemon cake w/ Diet Lemon lime
- angel w/ Diet Orange
- White w/ Diet Orange
- yellow cake w/ Diet orange
- white cake w/ Diet Peach
- spice cake w/ diet lemon-lime
- White w/ diet ginger ale
- chocolate cake w/ Diet cherry coke
- devils food w/ diet vanilla coke
- chocolate cake w/ rootbeer
- marble cake w/ diet cream soda
- lemon with tangerine diet rite
- white cake mix w/ diet sprite
- Red Velvet w/ Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper
- Banana cake w/ diet root beer
- Pineapple cake w/ diet Squirt
- orange cake /diet Mountain Dew
- cherry chip cake / A& W diet Cream soda
- diet lemon + lemon;
- angel or yellow cake/orange diet pop
- diet peach with white cake
- spice cake/ diet lemon-lime pop
- diet ginger ale + white
- diet cherry sodas in chocolate cake
- Diet cola + devils food or chocolate mix

These sound great. How much soda do you use.
