Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Sugar-free lemon cake mix
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Water
- 1 small box (4 servings) Sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 can (8 ounces) Crushed pineapple in its own juice
- 8 ounces Fat-free whipped topping
- 1 can (11 ounces), drained Mandarin orange segments (canned)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free lemon cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and water. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, crushed pineapple (including the juice), and fat-free whipped topping. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is fully baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
Spread the pineapple-pudding topping evenly over the cooled cake.
Arrange the drained mandarin orange segments on top of the cake in a decorative pattern.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice into 12 equal pieces and enjoy this light and sunny treat!
