Pineapple Cake Recipe 🍍🍰 (4 Servings)
Ingredients:

  • 180g Pillsbury Zero Sugar Classic Yellow Cake Mix (4 WW points per serving)
  • 1/2 cup Dole Crushed Pineapple (3 WW points total; adds 1 WW point per serving)
  • Zero sugar Sprite (enough to achieve the desired consistency)
  • Cool Whip (optional topping) – 1 WW point per serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    • Weigh out 180g of cake mix using a digital scale to ensure precise portion control.
    • Add 1/2 cup of Dole crushed pineapple to the mix.
    • Gradually pour in zero sugar Sprite and stir until the mixture reaches the desired cake batter consistency.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Use a silicone loaf pan to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool & Serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool before cutting it into 4 equal pieces.
  6. Add Toppings: Each piece is 5 WW points, and you can top it with a serving of Cool Whip (1 WW point per serving).

Points Breakdown:

  • Cake Mix: 16 points (4 points per serving)
  • Pineapple: 3 points (1 point per serving)
  • Cool Whip (optional): 4 points (1 point per serving)

Total: Each slice of cake is 5 WW points, and with the Cool Whip, it’s 6 WW points.

Benefits:

  1. Weight Watchers-Friendly: At just 5 points (or 6 with Cool Whip), this cake satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping within your daily point limit.
  2. Low in Sugar: The use of zero sugar cake mix and sprite helps keep the sugar content low without compromising flavor.
  3. Portion Control: The recipe is designed for just 4 servings, making it ideal for smaller households or portion-controlled indulgence.

Tips:

  • Consistency: Add the Sprite gradually until you achieve the right cake batter consistency. Too much liquid can result in a runny batter.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cake as it bakes. Depending on your oven, the time may vary slightly.
  • Customize: Add a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor without adding points.

Conclusion:

This Pineapple Cake is a light, fruity, and guilt-free dessert perfect for anyone on Weight Watchers. With only a few simple ingredients and a bit of creativity, you can enjoy a sweet treat without derailing your progress! Top it off with Cool Whip for an extra creamy finish.
