"There is no need to deprive yourself and your family of your favorite cakes and cookies," she says. "I have given you nearly 160 recipes (actually 240, counting variations) so you can enjoy your favorite treats even after the cholesterol has been eliminated and the fat and sugar content cut in half."
The recipes include Iowa Smooth-as-Silk Cake, Deep Dark Chocolate Cake, Apricot Almond ! Cake, Strawberry Pecan Cake, Black Walnut Cake, Cardamom Cake, Supreme Spice Cake, Lemon \ Pound Cake, Doublé Almond Delight Cake, Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, Orange Cupcakes, and
Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake, lo name just a few. There are also recipes for Cakes for Special Occasions (calling for a slightly higher quantity of fat and sugar), for Frostings and Sauces, and for Drop Cookies, Formed Cookies, and Bars. Nutritive values are given for every recipe. Beginning cooks vvill particularly appreciate the detailed directions in this excellent baking guide.
