Morning Glory Snack Cake

by Holly Rudin-Braschi

 

Looking for a delicious breakfast fix to complement your fast lane

lifestyle? Try a slice of my nutrient-rich Morning Glory Snack Cake for an

eat-and-run breakfast that can't be beat. The first bite of this moist snack

cake delight will open your eyes with energizing fiber-rich dried fruit and

oatmeal. Crunchy toasted walnuts provide heart-healthy Omega-3 fats. But...

I hid the real nutritional secret in the batter. For a scrumptious daily

dose of soy protein, vitamins and minerals, I substituted Naturade Total

SoyTM Calcium 1000 for some of the flour. To keep the fat low and to give

this cake its moist crumb, I used a combination of yogurt and applesauce. To

create a fluffy rise and prevent the rubbery texture found in many low-fat

cakes, I used cake flour instead of higher gluten all-purpose flour.

 

Serves: 16

Holly's Fast Lane Tip: Boost your morning calcium and soy be washing down

your Morning Glory Snack Cake with a cup of 8th ContinentTM Soy Milk heated

in the microwave. Put the heated soymilk in a take-along, insulated mug to

sip between bites of cake on your way to work.

rubber spatula until well blended.

4. Using the rubber spatula, fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture a

little at a time until all dry ingredients are moistened. The batter will be

the center of prepared baking pan. With wet hands, pat the batter to spread
