Introduction

Applesauce can be substituted for some of the oil to reduce fat and add fruit. Flax meal, nuts, seeds, and or raisins can also be added (Remember to add additional calories). Canned cream cheese frosting can be omitted to save about 85 calories per serving. I am going try to make my own icing with a little light cream cheese, powder sugar, and light vanilla soymilk(much healthier than the canned stuff) Applesauce can be substituted for some of the oil to reduce fat and add fruit.
