box cake recipe- no oil or eggs! - deanne

[Guest guest]

Hi Deanne, Sorry to have slammed your box cake recipe.  Before I responded to

your post I had just read something where a woman had stated that she saves the

sprinkles from her " healthy yogurt " (the kind with artificial colors and flavors

and no probiotics....definitely not healthy).  Generally, people have a

distorted idea of what is healthy.  Advertisers throw healthy sounding terms

around all the time (describing products that aren't healthy at all) and it

really affect what people think is good for them.  As a teacher, I'm disgusted

on a daily basis by what parents put in their children's lunches.  One of the

worst is the Lunchables....processed, nitrate, preservative filled lunch meat,

processed American cheese, crackers, candy, and a fruit flavored, high-fructose

corn syrup sweetened drink.  I have parents who bring in fast food for their

children.  In my opinion it's almost child abuse.  So, as you can tell....I'm a

little obnoxious when

it comes to food.  I just want you to know that my response was not personal

and I didn't mean to make you feel guilty or anything.  I have used cake box

mixes on occasion...knowing full well they are not good for me and my family.

I would like to update my original post on thism I chose the wrong descriptive

word to use....  by no means is eating boxed cake mix healthy.

 

I will rephrase to say " it may be less un-healthy " to use a diet soda as a

replacement for the oil and eggs.  You can also use a low-sugar cake mix.

 

I rarely use this, just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone needs to

bake a quick using boxed cake mix.

Actually just a note about it being " healthy " --even " diet cokes " are NO good for

you, as for one thing they contain aspartame.    Not that I'm discouraging

anyone from making /trying it.  Just wanted to jump in with that, as the part

about it being healthy sort of red-flagged me, and so I wanted to toss that

in.

You can omit the oil and eggs from the cake mix. 

 

If you are making a dark cake (like chocoloate) add a can of coke zero or diet

coke. 

If you are making a light cake (yellow or white) use Sprite Zero or Diet 7-up.

 

It's healthy and moist!  Enjoy!
