When I needed to bring a treat to work, I combined four different recipes into this moist cake. A boxed mix makes it easy, but the creamy filling and buttery topping make it memorable. —Lydia Mason of Brainerd, Minnesota

SERVINGS: 18

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) lemon cake mix
  • 1-1/3 cups water
  • 3/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • FILLING:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 can (15-3/4 ounces) lemon pie filling
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Coat a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan with cooking spray and dust with flour; spread half of the batter into pan.

    1 egg equals l/4 c. of egg substitute - so use 3 eggs.

    Can I add egg instead of egg substitute and if so, how much?
