150 Calorie Pineapple Coconut Cake



Since the 130 Calorie Fruit Cocktail Cake turned out so well I have been thinking about what other fruit cocktail/fruit cup flavors I could experiment with - then I saw Pineapple Coconut Fruit cups at the grocery store and I knew this would be a great combination  - The pineapple and coconut flavor makes me feel like I'm in Hawaii :)

This cake only has 2 ingredients, it is dense, moist and lightly sweet. 
It also is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!






Recipe:
1 Pineapple Coconut Fruit Cup - 60 calories
1/4 cup Oat Flour - 90 calories                        
=150 calories total!


1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together the fruit cup(with the juice!) and the oat flour
3. Stir until completely combined, then pour the batter into a greased mini loaf pan
4. Bake for 12 minutes or until set

130 Calorie Fruit Cocktail Cake


This cake is based on the one mentioned in the movie Steel Magnolias - not the Armadillo cake, the Cuppa Cuppa Cake "A can of fruit cocktail with the juice, a cup of flour and a cup of sugar"


This cake only has 3 ingredients! It is also gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!

In theory you could try this with any flavor of fruit cup but I used Mixed Fruit with no sugar added - I think you could use any flavor as long as it is in "syrup", "light syrup" or fruit juice - just don't use a gel variety!




Recipe: Makes 1 mini loaf cake

1 Mixed Fruit Cup, with the juice  - 40 cal
1/4 cup Oat Flour - 90 cal
1 tablespoon Stevia, or to taste - 0 cal              
= 130 Calories



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together the flour and fruit cup
3. Add in the Stevia, mix well
4. Pour into greased mini loaf pan - for a regular loaf pan double all ingredients
5. Bake for 20 minutes at 350
6. Let cool and enjoy!
