A Slice of Yummy Cake for 80 Calories

Every once in a while, Snack Girl can’t get enough of a certain food or idea.

Butter Cake

I was incredibly intrigued by last week’s blender brownies. I felt like I had found the secret to making tasty low calorie baked goods – beans.

Also, I loved using my blender instead of a mixer and a bowl. I can toss my blender in the dishwasher, it is easy to pour the batter into the pan, and it mixes super fast.

Someone commented that I should try blondies in the blender and I was all over it. My neighbors have begun to wonder about the whirring sound.

The recipe below is was an attempt at blondies that had the consistency of cake – so I decided to call it cake.

I had my main taste-tester, my husband, try these and didn’t tell him about the beans. He typically wanders by when he smells something good from the oven.

He said, “Very buttery,” after tasting this cake and I cracked up. No cow was touched for this recipe.

Will this win the Julia Child award for best cake? Not gonna happen. Will you love it anyway? I say yes!
