The biggest thing I have learned so far in this journey is everything in moderation. Most days I need to watch what I eat and make the right choices, but I know I would fail and fall flat on my face if I didn't enjoy food as well. Here is the cake that I made for the hubbies 30th birthday. It was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Adapted from Mommy's Kitchen
Strawberry Soda Cake ( 13.4 points/ 570 cals/ 8 servings)
Cake
box strawberry cake mix
Strawberry flavored soda (amount of water called for on box)
2 eggs
5 T oil (about 1/3 cup)
about 1/2 cup fresh smashed up fresh strawberries
Blend all together and bake according to package directions.. ( may need 2-3 more minutes because of fresh fruit)
Frosting
1 cup Confectioners sugar
8 oz cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat.. saved me a few cals right?)
1 tub cool whip
about 1/4 cup mashed up fresh strawberries
Cream together room temperature sugar and cream cheese. Hand stir in cool whip and strawberries. Frost on cooled cake.
ooh! I'm keeping this recipe! Sounds so-o-o-o good!
