Low-fat Cake for the World Cup


So I had written out a recipe for Low-fat Cake awhile ago and I never had tried it. So I decided that since I had some zucchinis laying around I would give the cake a try. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cake mix (I used Devil's Food)
1 egg
2 egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups shredded zucchini
Combine first 6 ingredients with a blender on low for 2 minutes. Fold in zucchini. Pour in a prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
I made half of my mom's icing recipe but added too much milk so the icing was runny but really good. Recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter, softened
1.5 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla

Then I put topped with sliced fruit in the design of the American Flag in honor of the World Cup game (England vs America) which ended in a 1-1 tie.

  1. Don't put the icing. We just threw out the cake. It seeped through and it was gross. I would just powder the top with icing sugar.
