Has anyone seen any low fat cake mixes? I haven't had any luck.
Thanks.

Isn't angel food cake fat free? I'm sure they make a mix for that.

Yes, angel food cake from either a box mix or from scratch is totally fat
free. I don't know about mixes, but if making from scratch it is easy to
make a chocolate one (using cocoa powder) and they're quite good.

As far as fat free devil's food, I've not seen any. However, you might try
a regular mix, replacing the oil called for with applesauce and the egg
with EggBeaters or equivalent.

(laughing!) I just now saw the subject line. Sorry, I missed the
devil's food part. Whoops.

Good answer, unlike mine. I attribute my lack of attention to just
having finished a huge turkey dinner.

Almost all cake mixes have a lowfat recipe on the same side
of the box as the regular directions. In most cases the
lowfat directions call for egg substitutes or just the whites
instead of whole eggs and water or applesauce to substitute for
most of the oil or butter. Most of them turn out remarkably
well in the lowfat version.

Krusteaz makes a ff brownie mix. There's also a brand called "No Pudge"
that has ff brownies. Not quite a cake mix, but close?

Thank you for that dose of common sense.
I just checked the regular mix I bought and there are the directions for the
"low cholesterol version." Duh!!
Next time I'll try to think a little before I post :-)

You obviously have not read the box it comes in.

Yesterday at Lowe's Foods here in Winston-Salem, NC I saw several low fat and
no sugar mixes. Had not seen them before, and thought about buying as my
daughter and her husband are coming soon to visit and he is diabetic. These
have sweet and low in them according to the box, but decided to wait and see if
she has had any experience with them, etc.
Good luck,
Judith

Thanks. .

I can't speak for what you want to call low-fat, but...substituting the
same amount of strained applesauce (ie, let it drain of excess fluid)
for oil is on trick. To get around the egg issue, you can use a
powdered product called Egg Replacer for one of the eggs called for +
egg whites for the rest of the volume of egg. just my 2 cents....
