Answer 3

To a box of cake mix (sugar free if you can find it) add one can of diet soda (no other ingredients) and mix.  Bake as directed on box. When cool  top with fat free whipped topping mixed with sugar free instant pudding and 1 cup skim milk.

This is so easy and you can also use canned pineapple or fresh fruit to add more flavor.

Use diet 7-up, Sprite, or other light drink with light cake mixes.  With chocolate mixes use diet cola or diet root beer.

Answer 4

You can make a fat-less sponge as used in swiss rolls. There are many sugar substitutes now so it may be worth looking on their web sites for recipes.

Fat-less sponge.

4 Medium eggs

100g / 4oz Caster sugar

100g / 4oz Plain Flour

            

2x7” sandwich tins

The base only lined with greaseproof paper or baking parchments and lightly oiled

Shelf: 2

Setting: Fan

Temperature: 150°C

Time: 20 – 30 minutes



Method

    

1 Whisk the eggs and the sugar on full speed using a food mixer or if whisking by hand place the bowl over a pan of hot water and whisk until the mixture becomes creamy white and a ribbon trail is left in the top of the mixture when some mixture is lifted from the bowl.

2 Sieve the flour and place the flour back into the sieve again to sieve over the mixture and make sure the flour is added gradually.

3 Re-sieve the flour onto the egg mix and cut the flour in with a large metal spoon. Use a slicing action to prevent cutting out the air.

4 Once all the flour is added, pour the mixture evenly into the two cake tins. Scrape gently down the side. The mixture should still be light and creamy.

5 Bake until light golden brown and springs back to the touch.

6 Remove from the tins and place on a cooling wire to allow to cool.

7 Sandwich together with desired filling.

Answer 6

I would go to my local major super market and go the bakery section.

They do sell cakes with no sugar ( using sugar substitute) and low fat.  Read the ingredients on the package and then try to replicate as much as you can.  I would also do a search on Google and type in all the key words you have in your question.    The answer to your question is yes, but I do not have a specific recipe.
