Recipe Introduction
Sometimes, after a very hearty and filling meal, all you want is a delicate little sweet. I suggest these tart and pretty little cake squares that will perfectly hit the spot. If you want to make a true hostess-with-the-mostest impression, try sprinkling powdered sugar on top through a paper doily to make a lacy pattern!
Serves 8 (2 each)
List of Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 pourable Splenda granular
- 1/3 cup reduced-calorie margarine, melted
- 1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free lemon gelatin
- 3/4 cup Land O Lakes no-fat sour cream
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs or equivalent in egg substitute
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-9-inch cake pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine flour, Splenda, and margarine. PRess mixture evenly into bottom of prepared cake pan. In a large bowl, combine dry gelatin, sour cream, and baking powder. Add eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on HIGH for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Pour lemon mixture evenly over crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the center is firm. Place cake pan on a wire rack and let set for 10 minutes. Evenly sprinkle powdered sugar over top, if desired. Continue cooling. Cut into 16 squares.
