Fruity Angel Cake (for diabetics)
You will need:
- 1 package of Angel Food Cake mix ( I like Pillsbury best)
- 1 package of sugar free Jell-o, orange or raspberry
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 cups light whipped topping such as Cool whip
- 1 Can mandarin oranges or 1 small box, 1/2 pint of fresh
raspberries
- mint leaves for decoration
Prepare cake mix according to directions on box and pour into a
casserole dish or a 13X9 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees
for about 35 to 40 min. Should be firm to the touch when
done. invert to cool.
With a large 2 prong meat fork, poke holes in the cake 1, 1/2
inches deep and 1/2 inch apart. In a small bowl or mixing
cup, pour the boiling water and empty the contents of the Jell-o
packs into the water stirring till dissolved then add cold water
and stir. Pour the Jell-o water all over the cake so that it
will go down into the holes you created with the fork.
Refrigerate for 3 hours then frost with light Cool whip and
decorate with 2 mandarin orange slices and a mint leaf for each
serving. Or, use raspberries in the same way. You will
get about 15 servings.
