"Using Equal Sugar Lite and yogurt, it's a health benefit with a calorie reduction. try using strawberry yogurt! In Taiwan, you can get yogurt with konnyaku mixed in! mmm... so buttery, but lite! I used strawberry yogurt and I omitted the almond extract. recipe copied from www.equal.com"

This gets 5 stars for ease of preparation alone. I used a combination of Splenda granular and sugar. The yogurt was plain yogurt with an extra measure of vanilla extract added. The recipe was reduced by half and baked in 2 mini loaf pans--one for now and one went into the freezer for later. I made this in order to make recipe #122728.

I'm looking forward to trying this.

Fantastic taste! Minus one star, though, because the batter rose up against it's oppressive baking master and spilled itself all over the floor of my oven :(

This is a moist and dense cake. We're trying to eat heathier and this fit the bill nicely. Followed the recipe to a tee and served it with sliced strawberries. I'll add this to my recipe to make for our diabetic friends.

My mom loved it and she is the diabetic. I would not neccesarily have called this a "pound" cake because it doesn't have the same texture. Also, I used Splenda's baking blend instead of equal and the ratio's must be different because it was too sweet in my opinion. I am going to try this again and check next time. I had a hard time getting it out of the bundt pan, but that could be my technique rather than the recipe itself. I think it needs some tweeking to be fantastic but is definitly worth building on.
