INGREDIENT NOTES:

SUGAR-FREE CAKE MIX:

  • This cake mix will save you the effort of making the cake. You can easily prepare it without collecting the ingredients for it. Use the sugar-free cake mix to make a light cake for you. Your cake will become soft from using this. An alternative for this can be making a cake with sugar substitute & whole wheat pastry flour.

EGG WHITES:

  • These are light for your recipe. These will give airiness to your cake. Also, your cake will rise in the oven from them. You can use eggs as well, but the calories will rise a little.

WATER:

  • You will use water in the sugar-free cake mix to make a cake batter. This will make the steps easy for you. You can also add unsweetened almond milk for an alternative choice.

UNSWEETENED CRANBERRY SAUCE:

  • This is the main flavor for your cake. You will use it to add to your cake after poking it. It will give a tangy taste to your dessert. Also, your dessert will look beautiful when using this sauce. You can add strawberry or cherry puree as well.

SUGAR-FREE CRANBERRY GELATIN:

  • We use it to make your cake tasty. It will spread in the holes of your cake to make your dessert flavorful. Cherry gelatin is also an alternative idea for you.

LIGHT WHIPPED TOPPING:

  • You will use light whipped topping over your cake for frosting. It will not make your dessert heavy either. Your cake will also feel soft from using it. Add reduced-fat whipped topping for another idea.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Adding this will improve the flavor of the cranberries in your cake. Also, it boosts the warm feeling in your dessert. Orange extract or almond extract are choices for you as well.
