"This is my own low-fat recipe and I often use cubes of it to make a wonderfully light blueberry trifle," writes Joyce Grasby from Rochester, New York. She also likes to spoon fresh or frozen fruit or berries over each slice for added flavor.

Egg substitute would cut down on the fat, and I have used it in many similar recipes with no ill effects. I also omit salt from nearly all recipes.

I also think it has too much fat in it to be called light. I agree with dmurphy

I think sodium level and fat content are a little high. I also would like to use a diabetic sweetener that you can bake with. I wonder about omitting salt and also did she mean real butter. I wonder if margarine made with veg. oil would lessen the fat or maybe substitute 1/4 c. of unsweetened apple sauce for part of the butter and then 1/4 cup of margarine? I wonder about trying these things to reduce some of the fat and sodium. 9 grams of fat is quite a bit to me.

I wonder if this recipe will work with sugar substitute, i.e., one made specifically for baking.

I just made this pound cake batter and its so lite and fluffy! It tastes yummy too. Cant wait till its done to try it out. Thanks
You can use almond flour for half your flour in this recipe but make sure to reduce the fat about a 1/4 cup to make up for all the fat in the almond flour. Good luck.
