Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Yellow Cake Mix
Decorating By jenidot Updated 12 Jul 2007 , 3:53pm by JulieBee
Has anyone tried this cake mix? Can you tell me if it tastes good? I have a friend who wants a cake for her diabetic parents and I thought this may be a good lower sugar option with the diabetic icing and strawberry filling I saw on this site. Please help!!
I have not tried it but, I would think it would taste fine.
People who are diabetic usually know what things with lower sugar should taste like. Maybe if your worried you could make a small cake for the parents and another cake for the rest of the guests!
Maybe someone else can help!?
I agree that it should be fine.
I would love to hear from anyone who has made this, how it tasted, especially if they are not diabetic (therefore used to 'real cake' ) and if they liked it.
I recently made a cake for a fam that had a few diabetics and what I did was I only used half the amt of sugar in the cake, and the icing and filling was made normally. They all loved it. To tell u the truth, with all the sugar that's in the rest of the stuff, the cake doesn't need THAT much sugar. For example, if I am having a cake/cupcake/pastry/whatever, I put less sugar in my coffee bc I find they compliment each other. As for your question, no, I haven't tried that yet. Eager to get replies from those who have!
I have used that before. I didn't get to taste it but the customers loved it. I added a sugar free box of french vanilla pudding too and an extra egg. Even the ppl that weren't diabetic loved it also!!
imnamor95, was that a scratch recipe or mix/doctored mix? I'd like to hear about it. I would love to build up my recipe collection--I'm a junkie
jenbenjr, awesome! Thanks for sharing; I can add that as an option to try for my MIL...I love her but she's a lifelong dieter! I really do love her but her cakes are kind of dry because she uses a mix and just doesn't add oil...because of the fat BUT doesn't put anything in its place! I've made her mixes with applesauce replacing the oil and am hoping to get her to try that out. In the meantime, I HAVE to have ice cream with her cakes! Then I don't notice how dry it is...
LOL......I usually have milk with dry cakes! Anyway, I have made lowfat cakes also and have replaced the oil with applesauce and it works great. Hopefully you can talk her into doing this.
I used this for a Father's Day cake request that I had and the customer loved it. I used a package of Sugar Free pudding as well. Just warn them that the cake has 9 grams of sugar alone. I do not know if they have been told a set amount of grams to look for and avoid in certain foods but I had gastric bypass in 2006 and was told not to eat or attempt to eat anything that had more than 5 grams of sugar per serving.
i recently made a cake for a diabetic mother to go along with her daughters baby shower cake. i used sweet n lows sugar free cake mix. alone the mix is awful. however i folded in 4 beaten egg whites w/ splenda, and a 1/4 cup of sour cream and almond extract. i used the sugar free icing that uses dream whip and added cream cheese. when the cake came out of the oven,while still hot, i poured on some divinchie s/f hazelnut syrup. the texture of the cake is like a pound cake. she loved the taste. hope this helps.
Keep posting everyone!! These are great! I love choices!! Maybe I can convince my MIL to try some! Or at least convince her to use some applesauce.
So to everyone that has added a box of sugar free vanilla pudding, do you use the small box of the big box? And you just add the powder right, you don't make it up into pudding and then mix it into your batter? And do you use the instant kind, not the cook kind? As you can tell I have NO clue!!!
