TIP OF THE DAY: Save Calories With Cakelets
| We love cake but it doesn’t love us. With a whole cake in front of us, we can’t resist slicing another “little piece”…then another. That’s why we’ve looked for ways to serve smaller portions.
Cakelet or mini-cake pans have saved the day. Instead of baking a standard cake, we make cakelets. In addition to looking oh-so-charming, these mini cakes create a sense of portion control. We can restrain ourselves to two or three cakelets at a time, saving calories, carbs and fat. They’re also easy to make: Just pour cake batter into a pan. No frosting required; although you can serve optional whipped cream or dessert sauce. This fall-themed baking pan from Williams-Sonoma creates acorn, pumpkin, pine cone and walnut cakelets. Willliams-Sonoma also has a pumpkin and maple leaf whoopie pie pan. Find more of our favorite cakes and cake recipes in our Cakes, Cookies & Pastry Section. |
