Oatmeal Honey Apple Cake - Cooking Light Recipe - A

This recipe gets an "A." I know that is the first of the new attempt at this site, but really, it gets an "A." In my never-ending search for low-fat desserts, I came across this last fall and have waited until now to try it. I think it is supposed to be a Rosh Hashannah recipe because apple and honey cake is a traditional dessert for ringing in a sweet new year. I really liked that none of the honey flavor was lost in the cake, as honey tends to be. A lot of the calories were cut out with the lack of butter in the batter. I also made it even less fattening by using 4 egg whites instead of the two eggs called for in the recipe. It's a pretty dense cake without them. I had all of the leftover egg whites from the yolks I used last week to make a pudding. This cake gets even better the next day. I also wouldn't recommend pre-toasting the almonds, because ours got a little over toasted under the broiler.

Here is the recipe:

  1. To expand a bit further on previous comment (it was just a “test comment”), the case is heavy and filling, but still quite sweet. Definitely satisfies that craving after a meal.
