Instead of just saying goodbye to sweet treats forever, give some diet dessert recipes a try. You can have your cake and eat it, too - every delicious bite.

Here's a diet dessert recipe that's sure to please the sweetest tooth. Peachy Keen Cake is sweet and moist, and has a fraction of the fat, calories and sugar found in most cakes. The peaches lend a warm flavor, and artificial sweetener works with a small amount of sugar naturally occurring in the peaches to make a diet dessert which will have you wanting seconds. At roughly 120 calories a slice, you can indulge your senses without adding to your waistline.

Diet Dessert Recipes: Peachy Keen Cake

* 6 large peaches, fresh
* 2/3 cup sucralose (brand name Splenda)
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 egg OR 1 ripe banana, mashed with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 teaspoon almond extract
* 1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk OR 1/2 cup milk, any lower calorie variety (including soymilk and almond milk), mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Make cross-cuts on the stem end of each peach with a sharp knife and place the peaches in the boiling water. Boil for about 1 minute, or until the skins start to become soft. Drain boiling water and transfer peaches to a bowl of cold water to cool. Peel, halve and pit the peaches and set aside.

In a medium skillet, combine 1/3 cup of sucralose and one tablespoon of butter. Cook together over medium-low heat for three to five minutes, or until the sugar begins to melt.
Coat an 8x8 square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the peaches inside, cut side up. Pour the melted sugar over the peaches and set all aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the remaining 1/3 cup sucralose, 1 tablespoon butter and oil with an electric mixer until combined. Add the egg or egg replacer, beating until smooth, then beat in the vanilla and almond extract. With the mixer at low speed, add the buttermilk or buttermilk replacement and the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Do not overbeat.

Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches in the pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife, and invert the cake onto a serving plate. If any of the peaches stick to the pan, remove them with a knife and replace them on the cake.

If you’re looking for a sweet treat, there isn’t anything better than a vanilla slice (also called snot block). This simple snack is a traditional Australian favorite and consists of a sandwich like crusty pastry that’s filled in the middle with sweet and creamy custard. In fact there are national competitions held to reward the best Vanilla Slice maker. While there are several variations of this delectable snack, here’s a simple way to make the Vanilla slice. To begin with you need puff pastry, caster sugar, custard powder, cream, milk and vanilla.

Here’s the list of ingredients:


Puff Pastry -2 Sheets approximately 25cm x 25cm that’s ready rolled frozen puff pastry
Caster Sugar -1/2 cup
Custard Powder-1/2 cup
Cream –about ½ a cup
Milk – approximately about 1and ½ cups
Vanilla Essence- 1 teaspoon
Butter- about 25gms
Icing Sugar-1 and ½ cup

Begin by pre-heating the oven to about 210 deg Celsius and lining the tray with baking paper and the puff pastries (one pastry on each tray).

You can bake these for about 10-15 minutes, but before you bake make sure you have pricked them with a fork. Combine custard powder, sugar and cream over medium heat, gradually adding milk and vanilla. Meanwhile cut the pastry to the size of a brownie pan and layer the custard and then another pastry over this. The icing can be made by adding butter and icing sugar with adequate hot water to make thin to medium textured icing Refrigerate this and you’re Vanilla Slice are ready.

Variations to these include adding a layer of jam that adds to the pleasure. And there are some that accentuate the flavor of the icing by combining it with passion fruit pulp. The filling is sometimes flavored with chocolate. Nobody knows for sure the origin of the dish, but it’s popularly believed to be a French creation. The French call it Mille-Feuille.

Every year thousands of Vanilla Slice fans gather in Ouyen, West Victoria for the Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph. There are hundreds display stalls and plenty of entertainment, but the main feature remains the competition where professionals, amateurs and school entries compete with each other.

Ask any slice fan and he’ll tell you that the perfect slice is one which has the perfect custard that rests between two slices of buttery puff pastries. The custard should smell of fresh eggs and should have the perfect consistency. Not too vicious and not too jelly like, and with just the right sweetness. There are several melbourne cakes suppliers who have mastered the art of making the perfect slice. They have indeed taken this simple dish to gourmet heights.

 


I regularly buy this vanilla slice. IT is made by a well known melbourne cakes supplier.
