INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN HAM:

  • This is one of the important ingredients in this recipe, which is low in WW points as well as fat content. It is healthy as it includes protein in the dish. The cake will become fulfilling with its addition. Another idea that you can try as an alternative is chicken breast, after cooking it.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • Another main ingredient in this recipe is this cheese, which makes it fulfilling as well. We use the reduced-fat one in this version of the recipe to make it lighter than the classic cake. Other than that, it will combine the other components easily and give a creamy element to the cake. You may also try using fat-free cheeses for substitution.

EGGS:

  • Eggs are important in this cake recipe because they will help the cake maintain its softness and provide a nice shape to the dish. If you require a substitution for this ingredient, you can use egg whites only.

FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:

  • This product will easily add moisture to the cake and make the overall dish very light. We also get a bit of tanginess from its addition. Fat-free sour cream will work just fine as an alternative.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Baking powder can easily make the overall cake feel a lot lighter, and it also helps in baking.
