If you think that a beautiful figure and eating sweets in the form of cakes are two incompatible things, then you are mistaken. In fact, there are many recipes for diet cakes, and their taste is practically no different from the taste of high-calorie "brothers."
After all, even an abundance of creams, flour biscuits and chocolate can be made dietary by applying such a trick as replacing prohibited foods with permitted ones.
Diet Cake - General Cooking Principles
So, how to make your favorite treat affordable even on a diet. Everything is simple!
• Use whole grain flour or oatmeal for making biscuit. If you still take wheat flour, then it is recommended to mix it with milled oatmeal in a proportion of one to one.
• Do not put granulated sugar, you can easily replace this product with sugar substitute, fructose, stevia or honey.
• If the recipe does not clearly indicate the use of egg yolks, take only proteins.
• Choose fermented milk products (cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, cream, etc.) that are part of the biscuit or cream, with minimal fat content.
• To add sweetness to the cake, use all kinds of low-calorie fruits, dried fruits, berries.

Diet Cake - Tips and Tricks
• To avoid using large amounts of oil to grease the baking dish, use parchment paper or demountable molds.
• If you want to give a nutty flavor to your cake, remember that this product is high-calorie, so it’s better to put quite a bit for the flavor.
• To make yogurt cream, take natural, non-flavored yogurt. You can change its taste to the desired one by adding frayed fruits or berries.
