"A tweaked version of Baby Kato's recipe #90402 My thanks to Baby Kato for the basic recipe that survived all my tweaks & still produced an excellent cake! The texture is light & the cake is very moist. I made 1/2 the recipe last night & ate some warm from the oven.It was marvelous but the true test of a low fat cake is will it "still love me tomorrow" ;-) I had some for breakfast & it was still just as good with none of that strange texture that often accompanies low fat baked goods. You would NEVER guess that it's low fat! Note: Baking time for 1/2 recipe (8X8 pan) was 32 minutes."

This is very good. I reversed the amounts for sugar and Splenda, using only 1/4 cup sugar to 1/2 cup Splenda, and the results were fine. I did not have butter flavor extract, so used vanilla. I served this with a dollop of non-fat vanilla yogurt. Thanks for posting this!

Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! ______________________________________________ *My rating system defined* Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. This said: ***** - met all my expectations in taste & appearance; directions were clear & easy to follow. **** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. *** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. ** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. * - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= />     <img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= />
