Quick Fix for Chocolate Cake Mix
Nutrition Highlights: 55% less fat, 22% less cholesterol, 11% more
potassium, and 41% more fiber than traditional recipe.
Makes: 1 Cake
In my informal survey of moms across the country, I've found that most
people use boxed cake mixes for cupcakes and cakes. Here's a way to
sneak a lot more nutrition into a cake mix while maintaining its light texture
and chocolaty taste.
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup Purple Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #1)
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1 box (about 18 ounces) chocolate cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®
Moist Deluxe® Classic Cake Mix)
> Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a cake pan (then lightly flour) or
muffin tin (lined with muffin cups).
> In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine eggs, Purple Puree, water, and
dry ingredients. Blend at low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to
medium speed for another 2 minutes. Pour batter into cake pan or muffin
tins. Bake cake for 33 to 36 minutes, cupcakes for 18 to 21 minutes (both
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
