Microwave Pumpkin Spice Cake w/ Cream Cheese frosting
Hi everyone I found this on a different forum and thought OMG it sounds sooooo good---I haven't tried it yet but I plan to asap...if you do lemme know how it is...it sounds sooo yummy
1/4 cup egg beaters
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
3 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp SF caramel syrup (DaVinci or Torani)
2 packets Splenda
2 tbsp nuts/berries trail mix, chopped small (I use scissors!)
Several good shakes of pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp SF vanilla or butterscotch pudding mix powder
3 tbsp vanilla soy milk
1 scoop Vanilla Unjury whey protein isolate
Mix dry ingredients-- pour into wet ingredients in a glass measuring cup. Do NOT cook in plastic-- it heats too fast. Cook 4-5 minutes on HIGH. Let it cool, dump it out and slice it-- I'd slice into 3 or 4 slices. (I made 3 thicker ones)
ICING:
1 oz FF cream cheese per layer of cake (you make 2 slices of cake, double this, etc.)
drop of vanilla extract
splash of caramel DaVinci
a little soy mil****il spreadable
Mix with a spoon until clumps are gone and spread on a cool cake slice. Tastes better when you let it refrigerate a bit.
NUTRITION (this is a rough estimate) PER SLICE (if you make THREE slices!)

This sounds pretty yummy. I've been eating these a lot lately (the microwave cakes). The other day I found sugar free chocolate chips at Wal-Mart and so I put them in the cake i made. Big mistake. I think there were too many artificial sugars because I got so sick feeling.
Of course, I am also trying to come off Lexapro and I understand that the withdrawal symptoms are dizziness, nausea, fatigue, etc. Pretty much the same symptoms as dumping syndrome, so who knows?
I may get brave and try this though. I hope someone else tries it first though.

Hi Brandy, I just wanted to let you know that I hope you're able to get off of your Lexapro. I tried to get off of my Effexor a couple weeks ago & couldn't do it. It makes my head feel funny, which will pass after a couple of weeks, but I was getting really grouchy with Skyler & I would rather stay on the meds than be like that. I guess I am just not ready to get off of it yet. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to live without it. I hate being so dependent on meds.
Good Luck to you !!!! (((HUGS))) Angy
