I tried this cake recipe from Sarah Schlesinger's cookbook, "500 Fat-Free
Recipes," and loved it. As usual, I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I
changed the recipe slightly. BTW, I love this cookbook. It is filled with
simple, delicious, fatfree recipes.
The first thing I do with almost every recipe is to cut the sugar by
one-third. You can't taste the difference and you save a lot of calories.
Also, if a small amount of skim milk is called for in the recipe, I usually
replace it with water. This cake is only about an inch thick, so it is sort
of like a thick bar cookie (just not as dense). Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 9 x 13-inch pan lightly coated with
nonstick spray. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon into a large
mixing bowl. Stir in lemon peel, yogurt, arrowroot/cornstarch mixture,
pear, vanilla extrach, and maple extract until well combined. Transfer cake
batter to baking pan. Bake at 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in
the center of the cake comes out clean. Cut into 12 pieces.
