Heart Healthy Recipes

 

Mock Poundcake 

1 (18.25 oz.) yellow cake mix

⅓ c. nonfat sour cream

1 c. water

¾ c. egg substitute

powdered sugar 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.  Mix all ingredients with electric mixer on low for 2 minutes.  Scrape sides of bowl.  Turn mixer on high and mix for 6 to 8 minutes longer.  Batter is ready when pale colored peaks stand up when beaters are raised.  Fill prepared loaf pans half full of batter.  Bake in oven for 35 to 40 minutes.  Cake will rise and crack on top.  Let cool for 5 minutes.  Dust with powdered sugar.  (Place a cookie cutter in cake to make indentations before dusting with powdered sugar.)  Remove from pan.  Cool completely.  Place on serving plates and cover with plastic wrap.  (The purpose for wrapping in plastic wrap is it makes it super moist.)  This recipe is great served with strawberries and nonfat Cool Whip. 

Note:  For a poppy seed pound cake, add 1 tablespoon of poppy seed to batter before baking.
