a great way to get your gingerbread fix---so good.

yummy cake

A lovely low sugar dessert option to offer to family and friends. Especially nice when served the next day so the jam can really soak into the cake. Reminded one of my diabetic friends of a diabetic friendly christmas cake.

Good for Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet; Gluten-free if you use gluten-free baking powder; sugar-free; lactose-free

This is also basically fat free too!!

Easy to make, great tasting spice cake served with a dollop of whipped cream or cool whip makes a fast dessert

Optional, may add 1/2 cup dried fruit

This cake is an unusual twist on an old favorite--and vegan, too! For a less intense flavor, substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for half of the molasses, and cut the spices in half.

Nana always made this SO well. It's her classic gingerbread cake with a healthy twist and is about 1/2 the calorie count as the regular recipe for the same size piece! Makes a great alternative to boxed birthday cake!

1.5 c whole wheat flow
.5 c sugar
.5 c canola
.5 c blackstrap molasses
2 eggs
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking powder

This reciepe subs unsweetended applesauce for oil and saves 70 cals per serving.

It tastes like a cookie in the shape of a cake.

low sugar and low fat gingerbread cake

original recipe had apple butter instead of applesauce. if you use applesauce, it should be fairly thick, not runny. you could use 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 apple butter.
