The best way to make a cake is to make it into cupcakes. You can make ANY cake into cupcakes. By making them into cupcakes, it's a lot easier to portion control.

If you go here, you get to see the picture (and a video about it) but this cake is amazing. It has become a very popular dessert at our house.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

If you normally make your cakes from a cake mix, it is very easy to make those much lower in fat and calories. One popular trick is to add about 12 oz of diet soda instead of the eggs, oil and water, the recipe calls for, otherwise bake as normal. In my opinion, diet cream soda gives the best result.

If you don't want diet soda, here is another way to do it that I used a lot with very good results. Add fat free vanilla yogurt instead of oil. Add all egg whites, no yolks (about 9 tablespoons for a standard one that requires 3 eggs) and still use the oil. This raises the calories about 13 per serving over the "as packaged" calorie count with no added fat!!

Angel Food Cake would be an option.I guess if u r going to eat cake this would be the one to eat..U could dress it up with some fruit and maybe low fat whip topping.. See the nutrition value on the whip topping, because some low fat are worse than regular it may have more sodium. Check out the spark recipes I like these because it lists the nutrition value. Happy Birthday to you and your son..Hope you have a great day..
