OK, so I been wanting cake for a few days. Told DH I HAD to have cake when we got home from work. While I was changing clothes he gave me the bad news, there were NO cake mixes, sooooo
There was a brownie mix that called for 2 eggs and a half cup of oil and a quarter cup of water, we had the eggs and they needed to be used up, but I was going to substitute applesauce for the oil, DH gets the apple sauce and says NOPE, its gone moldy, so now I'm getting desperate, so I say use the rest of the canned pears and just smash them up, and while you're at it substitute a half cup of yogurt for the water, and so we did and it baked, and it was 3 points and it was good, Lee
Amazing what you can do when you have to isn't it? *grin*

I've been making cakes lately by substituting fat free pudding (either chocolate or vanilla) instead of the oil. It makes a DELICIOUS cake.

DH gets the apple sauce and says NOPE, its gone moldy
My wife loves applesauce and I hate it. We got tired of finding jars of moldy applesauce in the fridge, so now we buy the individual serving cups. They're more expensive, until you take into account how expensive it is to throw away 3/4 full jars of moldy applesauce.
Haven't seen moldy applesauce in years now, and since they come in convenient 1/2 cup measures, they're perfect for baking as an oil substitute.
and it made 18 servings, split it between 2 9 by9 pans and I only ate one, thin but tasty, Lee krys <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I usually get it eaten but here lately we have been running so hard I am not even sure what is in the frige at this moment. Those individual cups are a lifesaver to put in lunches though, Lee Stan <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...
