Light Lemon Cake Trifle - Weight Watcher Friendly

"This dessert came about totally by accident! I was trying to make one of the many WW cakes that use diet soda and cake mix into muffins. I didn't use liners and didn't spray my muffin tin with enough Pam, and they stuck miserably! So I looked in my fridge to see what I had on hand, and threw this together to layer. It really turned out pretty, and was delicious too! I highly recommend Waist Watchers soda in any cake you make. It is sweetened with Splenda and every flavor is calorie free, aspartame free, caffiene free, sodium free, and fat free. It actually costs less than other diet sodas too! I have only made this once on the spur of the moment, so feel free to make any adjustments needed. Feel free to try white or yellow cake with different flavors of yogurt and diet soda as well. It could also probably be made with a regular cake mix, but would make more like 20-24 servings than the 16 by using 2 Jiffy boxes. Thanks to Kittencal and recipe#79506, I have found a way to keep the yogurt in recipes from becoming runny and watery! I don't know if this would work using flavored Jello, but next time I make it I might try using the sugar free lemon Jello to give even MORE lemon flavor!"

directions

  • Combine cake mix, egg white, and diet soda.
  • Mix on low speed 1 minute, then medium for 1 minute or until smooth.
  • Pour into 1 cake pan or 6 muffin tins that have been well sprayed with Pam, or lined with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the teaspoon of gelatin with the 4 teaspoons of water. Let stand until thick. Place over low heat, and stir until gelatin dissolves. Cool, but do not allow to set up.
  • Place yogurt in a mixing bowl. Slowly stream in the cooled gelatin while beating over low speed. Add 1/2 of the container of whipped topping, and beat on high speed for 1 minute until thickened. Add 1 drop (or more)of yellow food coloring if desired. If this mixture is too tart, you may add 1/4 teaspoon Splenda, or your favorite artificial sweetener, to taste.
  • Crumble 1/2 of the cooled cake into a serving dish or divide evenly into parfait glasses. Top with 1/2 of the yogurt mixture. Spread 1/2 of the whipped topping over the yogurt. Repeat layers.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The joy of my life are my 2 sons, born in Dec. 00 and Jan. 04. I am currently a stay at home mom and love to make homemade meals and treats for my family. I live in PA, but the rest of my family are in AL and GA, and my boys and I spend weeks at a time in the South. I enjoy traveling with my husband and 2 sons. I am an Auburn University Alumni and a HUGE Auburn Tigers fan...WAR EAGLE! From August until November, you know what I'll be doing on Saturdays...watching ANY NCAA game on TV. I am also a fan of NASCAR. I have only been to 2 tracks, Talladega several times and Dover once, but I hope to visit many more. Pocono is only an hour away, so maybe someday! Atlanta is another real possibility with family close by. My furbaby Wickett (a pekinese-poodle mix I had for almost 14 years) went to live at the Rainbow Bridge on April 4, 2007. He was literally my first born child! He will always be in my heart. We have a new dog now, Roxie, who is a Shih-tzu. I am an animal lover, and will always have a pet! <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/511934835_9dc466e9a4_o.gif"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/RedWhiteBlue.jpg" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza">
