Low Fat Birthday Cake "Ice Cream"

This was not as successful as I had hoped. It tasted great, but not what I expected. I used two frozen banana's (probably around 1.5 cups) and about 2 tablespoons of the cake mix. Forgive the pink color, that was because of the sprinkles. All and all good texture but definitely tasted like banana's and cake, not birthday cake. Next time, I would either try only one frozen banana or possibly double the amount of cake mix. However, this did create a good base. It may taste better with something mixed in which provides a more robust flavor, maybe coffee or chocolate!! All and all a good first attempt. Happy eating.

Low Fat Birthday Cake "Ice Cream"!

So I had this idea that I will be testing tonight. Low Fat Birthday Cake "Ice Cream". That is my weakness (and day's worth of calories) whenever I go to cold stone. So I thought why not make my own version that may be better for you. I hope to use frozen banana's, a few tablespoons of Funfetti cake mix, and possibly a small amount of peanut butter to if needed to bind the mixture. Results later.

Cadbury Cream Egg Cupcakes

I found this recipe on Pinterest the night before Easter and I had to try it. Normally I make my cakes and cupcakes by scratch, but in a pinch I used a Pillsbury Super Moist Chocolate Cake mix and cream cheese frosting. What you need:

Cadbury Cream Egg Cupcakes

• 1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix
• 1 Can Frosting (I used Cream Cheese, but Vanilla would work. I will post a good frosting recipe this week if you prefer by scratch)
• Yellow food coloring
• 48 Cadbury Mini Cream Eggs (24 frozen)

Heat the oven to 350. Line the cupcake pan with liners. Prepare cake mix as directed. Put one frozen egg in each cup. Carefully cover with mix. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove. Let Cool. Separate around 1 cup of the frosting. Put in several drops of food coloring. When cupcakes are cool, frost first with the regular cream cheese frosting. Then put a dollop of yellow on top. Place a Cadbury Mini Cream Egg (not frozen) on the dollop of yellow frosting. Enjoy!! These were very popular at Easter.
