I am not on Weight Watchers but I do like a good dessert without all of the calories. I made this tonight for my husband and I used a sugar-free yellow cake mix and SF/FF lemon pudding to make a lemon flavored cake. It turned out moist and yummy. I can certainly tell that it is low-calorie because most of it is just fluff, but it satisfies a craving for sweets.

I made cupcakes so I could control portion size. By making cupcakes instead of a cake I had a lot of frosting left over, but that's okay, we'll eat it like a mousse. It's great on it's own. The batter was weird, so thin that I thought this would be a disaster, but no, it was great. The cake is very sweet and satsifying. I made this for friends and they insisted on the recipe. It will be made over and over in my house. I also used sugar free cool whip because my dad is borderline diabetic.

The Original 7-Up Pistachio Cake recipe is my favorite cake! I can't wait to try this version. <br/>With the regular cake, we add crushed pineapple (a 20 ounce can) ~ drain the can of crushed pineapple well, pressing down on it in the strainer to remove all the liquid. Spread the crushed pineapple over the top of the cake, then cover with the frosting. The pineapple makes it more moist & sweeter. Yummy!

<br>I am a 58 year old business woman who owns two insurance agencies. Don't ask me how that happened since I was a home economics major in high school! I still love to cook and recipezaar is helping me make the time to try new ideas for a break from the day to day activities of running a business. Thank you!
<br>
<br>I've been in the insurance business since 1974, and my husband has recently joined my agency as well. Between us my husband and I have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. We live on the St. Joe river and we love pontooning and fun with the family on any occasion.
<br>
<br>Also, I can't leave out the two 4-legged friends of the family, Bogey our English Bulldog, and Reagan, our Lhasa Apso, both male and both spoiled of course!
<br>
<br>Cooking and grilling in the summer are things we all look forward to whenever we are all together. It's just plain fun to spend time together whenever we can.

<br>I started collecting cookbooks when my grandmother passed away. She had many old old cookbooks complete with her hand written notes, new special recipes she clipped out of different publications and yes, a few stains as well. I'd hate to think how much I've spent collecting different newer cookbooks over the years, and keeping them under control has always been a big problem for me. Recipezaar help me to categorize and capture the really important ones which I'm very grateful for.
